Help with getting ears to stand up

My CC is 4 months. We got his ears done and for the first few days they stood up. Now we can't get them to stand up. He is teething. Any suggestions. Attaching a few pic.

well not sure how this works for corsos but i was raised with pitbulls and when my parents had the ears docked they had to be taped atleast 4 weeks to make sure they stand...poor baby hope the ears stand back up

Thanks. I tried the dr. Scholls but guess i didnt have it deep enough to hold.

Did ya follow the directions on how I wrote them?
If you dont put the glue on it and take off the paper, as well as make sure they are already molded then they will not stay ..
Also did you make it two ply? so it would stay and stand?

this is so freakin cool so do you actually glue the moleskin to the ear or just shape it to the ear and it holds there?
 
At 14 weeks, our pup Zeus had one floppy ear. Our breeder said this is fairly common at around 4 months because of the rapid growth and teething. He suggested taping the ear(s) and adding a daily 500mg calcium supplement. I checked with our vet and she said it would be fine as long as the calcium levels in his blood did not spike too high. We did this for a few weeks and the Zeus' ears look great. Work with your vet and let us know how it goes. Good luck!
