    Without seeing the dog, we really can't tell you here. When does your dog need to have have his stitches out? Is a vet doing this? I would assume so. Although 10 days to have the stitches removed seems a little long to me, I would make an appt. with your vet to get the stitches out, and ask him what he thinks. I'm sure he will be able to tell you if his ears will stand up again, or if they have been too damaged. I'm sure you're just happy that your dog is feeling better, and that he is happy that you got help for him!

    Thanks,
    He is doing well.
    His ear is OK now.
    Vet told there is some puckering and his ear may remain floppy..

    I'm happy that he is okay! Floppy ear or not, he's healthy! That's all that matters! :)

    A floppy ear gives character. ;) As long a he's happy and healthy that's what counts!
