Why don’t corgis stand their ears? If a corgi does not have standing ears after eight months of birth, it is genetically predisposed to have soft ears and is born unable to stand ears. Calcium deficiency can also cause a corgi to stand up. Corgis can be given calcium powder to supplement calcium; Also some corgis are due to slow development and delayed ear.

1. Genetic causes

The average corgi will start to stand up around 40 days after birth, and both ears will be fully erect around three or four months after birth. If the corgi fails to stand its ears after eight months of life, it means that the corgi is genetically predisposed to have soft ears and is born unable to stand its ears. Since most corgis can stand their ears, only those with soft ear genes can’t stand their ears, which is not a disease and owners can not worry about it.

2, calcium deficiency

The lack of standing ears in corgis may be the cause of calcium deficiency. You can supplement your dog’s calcium by feeding him chicken breast, shrimp, beef and bone soup to maintain his balanced nutrition. However, some dogs’ gastrointestinal absorption ability is weak, the body to calcium conversion function is also relatively poor, so it can not achieve the ideal calcium effect. It is best to supplement calcium with calcium powder, which can also supplement vitamins and a variety of trace elements while supplementing calcium. It can also make calcium better absorbed by dogs.

3. Slow development

In fact, the development of corgis will have different circumstances, just like us humans, each person is different, so the degree of development and growth will also be different. Some corgis develop for a shorter period of time, so their ears will be raised earlier, while some corgis develop for a longer period of time, so their ears will be raised later.
