My male boy (still haven't gotten a name that fits him) had his right ear down last night for awhile, pretty much all the time....even while sleeping. When I went to bed last night, his ear was back up to normal.

Then today, the other ear was down, as in staying down. He does seem to be a little less active, though can't tell if his eating has changed.

Is any of this normal, or indicative of something serious?
 
What temperature is his room? My chins get what I call "sleepy ears" where their ears are flat and almost completely limp after they've been sleeping on them. They return to normal after they've been up and moving for a bit.
 
I've not let the temperature get above 70, and there's generally a ceiling fan going as well.

I'd never even thought of that, :duh:


Thank you!
