Why would teething affect ears?
I haven’t studied this closely but it seems ANY illness can cause puppy-ears to “wilt”. Teething places a great strain on a dog’s health: – the jaw itself is growing quickly – the baby teeth are re-absorbed into the gums – bone & enamel is being deposited for the permanent teeth – and there are possible gum infections along the way A new tooth that’s getting ready to emerge is usually covered with a red, swollen lump — that looks pretty painful. The body’s immune system is fighting it, just like a full-blown infection.
