You should be careful when bending the ears of a dog, as bending them too far can potentially cause permanent damage to them.

A dog’s ears are not as sensitive as a cat’s, but they still are sensitive enough that fiddling with them in unintended ways is not a good idea.

If you bend a dog’s ear too much, you may notice the dog’s ear stay bent in one place, and the dog may either not notice it, or may start shaking his head to unbend it. At this point, bend the ear back into place and keep it that way.

Floppy-eared dogs’ ears don’t bend the same way as a straight-eared dog’s. A floppy-eared dog’s ears are far more elastic, but that is not an invitation to play with them.

If you feel there’s something wrong with your dog’s ears, you can visit the veterinarian Henry County, or visit their website here, to learn more about this.
