Just Midol Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Lilys ear has this weird red lump. This is the best picture i can get. It is red, about the size of a 50c coin and is big. It almost completely blocks the passage down into her ear. Her other ear is a normal Husky ear. Sorry for the bad pic, she won't stop moving as it must hurt when I touch her ear. Ohhh, she is seeing the vet on Monday for it (Giz needs to go so she is tagging along to get it checked.) Any ideas on what it could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff'n'Toller Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) Yah Aural Haematoma. Off to the Vet for drainage and suturing (probably needs a GA) before it gets any bigger! PS- Don't wait till Monday! Mel. Edited June 11, 2008 by Staff'n'Toller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Midol Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) Hrmm, Quick google search seems to agree with you. Lilys is bigger than any of the ones I find in google images though. ETA: So it's urgent is it Staff? I'll have to get onto my other vet tomorrow then (I see two different ones ) Thanks Edited June 11, 2008 by Lord Midol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff'n'Toller Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Well...it's probably not causing much discomfort at this stage, it may stay the same or it may get bigger and end up involving the whole ear flap- hard to know. There are lots of blood vessels in the pinnae so the bigger it gets, the more stitches it needs, the more it costs and more difficult the recovery. Within the week should keep it as inexpensive as possible for you. Cheers, Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Midol Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 You guys were right Vet said I noticed at a decent time, wasn't too late. She is getting it fixed now. Isn't costing near as much as I thought it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Midol Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 Yeah her ear is really ugly When I saw it I thought they screwed up as blood was everywhere but they explained that they can't really clean all the blood off. Just being shaved makes it ugly. Huskies without fur ANYWHERE is not right :D She slept all of yesterday and is still sleeping today. She wolfed down her brekkie though - I just hope I didn't feed her too soon. Gizmo is also being nice to her for once. Usually he wakes her up every 30 mins or so but he has left her alone.
