Ear Crop

Hi, new member here. I have a male presa that just turned 4 months. His ear have been cropped I’ve had issues with his ears standing. The issue is his ears stand fine and look good but when he becomes unsure about something or get inquisitive about something the ears go across the top of his head. Has anyone experienced this before?
Should I continue to tape them or will they sort themselves out as he gets older and the ears get a little thicker. This is the first time I’ve dealt with ear cropping.

Please post a picture it might help :) I thought my girl had funny ears at first too but I think it was due to teething. I taped them for about a week and they were fine after that, alot of people just told me that If it's a short crop AND done well, no taping should even be needed after healing etc.

I think its just a young thing as my CC ears went all the way back when being submissive as a small puppy. One of the early pics I got right after hers were done, I couldn't even see them and was concerned. The head grows and gets wider, the ears kind of stay more upwards at all times.
Very beautiful Presa..

IMG_3785.JPG IMG_4431.JPG I think you could tape them if you want to, it's probably just a puppy thing and it'll pass pretty fast, I taped my puppies ears for a few days because I was really stressed because they were like super wonky but I dont think the taping even did anything they just sorted themselves out.
