Dogs with one ear standing upright and one lying prone may be caused by various reasons, including genetics, ear infections, hearing problems, or other health issues. Here are some possible reasons and solutions:
Genetics: Some dog breeds are born with this trait, so there’s no need to worry too much.
Ear infection: If a dog’s ear is infected, it may cause ear pain or discomfort, resulting in different postures. It is recommended to take the dog to a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible to observe if there is any odor, secretions or redness in the dog’s ears.
Hearing problems: If a dog has hearing problems, it may cause their ears to not stand up. You can observe the dog’s response to external sounds. If you find any abnormalities in the dog’s hearing, it is recommended to take the dog to the veterinarian for testing and diagnosis as soon as possible.
Health issues: In addition to the above reasons, a dog’s ears standing upright and one lying down may also be caused by other health issues. For example, dogs may not be able to stand up their ears due to physical discomfort or other health issues. If the dog experiences other abnormal symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and low spirits, it is recommended to take the dog to a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
In short, you can observe for a period of time to see if there are any other symptoms. If there are no other abnormal symptoms, there is no need to worry too much. But if abnormal conditions such as odor, secretions, or redness are found in a dog’s ears, it is recommended to take the dog to a veterinarian for testing and diagnosis as soon as possible.
