Mickey the wonder dog has a very swollen tip of one ear. He yelps when you do anything more than just very very gently touch it. We called the vet and they said it's probably a hematoma and they'll have to lance the ear to drain the blood. It's caused by him shaking his head excessively which is a habit he's developed of late. Evidently when he shakes his head, the ends of his ears snap and it breaks blood vessels because of his age (13) Have any of you had this happen with your dogs ? If so, what did you do. I mean ok, so the vet lances it and drains it tomorrow, then what ? Just worried about my best buddy is all. I can't bear to see him in any discomfort at all. I'd rather it'd be me.
