Has this happened to your pet ?

Question

My dog has a hematoma on her ear, we had it drained yesterday but its already starting to come back, I dont know how to drain it at home myself, or if I leave it alone will it go away, is surgery necessary, Im not very comfortable with putting her to sleep for it but I dont want her to feel pain, so the main question is have you had a pet who has had this problem, did it go away on it own, or did you have to have the surgery ?

Answer 1

My baby (human) cousin had a hematoma, and they had to have it surgically removed, or else it would grow indefinitely.  I wouldn't think it would be a very extensive surgery in an ear, so I'd call a vet and ask for a price quote and what other risks are involved.
