For those of you who dont know my 7/8 month old boy Max has one uppy ear and one lopped ear.
Well I went into him this morning and his uppy ear has dropped so that he is now a complete lop :shock::shock:
Does this just happen sometimes? Can it be a sign of a health issue?

Pea's did this too - at around a year old. I think it's just that they're fully grown and mature at that sort of age so their ears decide if they're going to be up or down (or somewhere inbetween). Pea can still have pricked ears if she's listening for danger but they flop quite quickly.

Smudge's does this on occasion, it usually goes back up after a while.

If he has lop in him then its likely to be natural and you might find it goes up and down depending on his mood, what's going on, etc. However, an uppy ear lopping over can be a sign of health problems in that ear (such as mites, or infection), so do keep an eye on it.
