Aural hematoma
My dog has an aural hematoma that keeps refilling. Went to vet who aspirated the puffy ear and $400 later went home with a no flap ear wrap but 2 days later I checked and it was puffy again. Back to vet $80 to redrain. 3 days later…here we go again. No ear infection, no obvious explanation for head shaking and frankly, she’s been doing that for 5 years. She’s a pittie and everything she does is rough so I guess lucky no hematoma until now. I guess I’ll go back tomorrow, but it’s so expensive; I can only imagine what actual surgery will cost. What happens if don’t keep doing this? If it becomes a cauliflower ear, is that permanently painful for the dog?
