Don't do anything at this point. It is VERY common for a Shepherd's ears to droop again while they are teething. They should stand back up on their own between 6 and 7 months of age.

The first person is right, the ears should stand up on their own again when the dog's adult teeth are in. You shouldn't tape yet. Alot of people start taping their dog's ears when it's not necessary and if it's not done properly it can do more harm than good.
My shepherd's ears drooped for about a month when she started loosing her puppy teeth, then stood back up on their own with no trouble.
If you DO wind up having to get them taped, get the breeder or your vet to show you how to do it properly.

The ears sometimes flop over when they begin to loose their baby teeth. They will stand in a few weeks. Until then, I would not use tape. If your GSD has a lot of hair on the ears, I have seen some people have a groomer just clip some of the hair on the top side to lighten the load on them a bit.

Ears can do weird things. If you want the ears to be up as an adult, they need to be taped. If you don't know how, contact a breeder in your area.
