Today I experienced the second ear hematoma with my dogs. My seven year old
bitch, Baby, has had cronic ear infections all her life. I was always able
to get to them immediately with fast treatment and clear it up. But this
time it was a losing battle. Yesterday the ear looked very weak but there was
no signs of any build up of blood in the ear. This morning it was certain
what we had so off to the vets we went. She came home this afternoon with
three
buttons sewed in her ear. Yes, they are truly buttons that we would have on
our own clothes.
She isn't showing any signs of discomfort and is actually in great spirits.
She is on antibiotics and a treatment of tresederm with two follow up
appointments in 7 and 14 days. Her ear is almost standing up but the vet did
say
that it could fold down if the cartledge was too broke down from the weight of
the blood collecting in the ear. Never a dull moment.

Every now and again I see this on the list and different methods suggested
for vets to try to correct....I have this vague notion that it involves
trauma
then bleeding....what causes this?
There are several different things that can cause an aural hematoma Kathy,
but anything that results in "head shaking" like chronic ear infections, a
build up of yeast in the ear etc, even a bee sting or bug bite. Anything
that
promotes a hard shake can cause a vessel in the ear to break and blood
starts
to build up and create a pocket in the ear with edema.
