Their ears should stand up on their own after some weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, for some unknown reason, some dogs\u2019 ears don\u2019t stand up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In that case, there are some steps you can take to get your dog\u2019s ears to rise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Hold each ear upright, and tape it with a 1.4-inch masking tape<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjust both ears so that their bases are flat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When both ears are up, create a bridge between both using the tape<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leave the tape for 4\u20135 days, then peel it off<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2

look adorable on French Bulldogs, they may increase the risk of some health conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frenchies with floppy ears are more likely to suffer infections because the moisture gets trapped in their canal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And because bacteria and moisture are best friends, infections can quickly arise when the airflow inside the ears is obstructed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That doesn\u2019t happen to all dogs, though, especially if you take good care to clean the area regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"do-some-french-bulldogs-have-only-one-erect-ear\">Do Some French

have seen a Frenchie with only one erect ear before, and while that\u2019s a normal occurrence, it\u2019s not the standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frenchies only pass by that phase when they\u2019re still developing their ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One ear may stand before the other, and there\u2019s nothing wrong with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other ear will likely follow some days later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even then, one ear may get floppy again and stand after some days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frenchies\u2019 ears are free birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They constantly change their positions, but it\u2019s nothing to be
