How to Heal a Hematoma in a Dog's Ear

[@RatedArggg]

My old family dog had a huge one in her ear. The vet suggested giving her garlic supplements before resorting to surgery. The garlic worked!

[@michellecardenas6072]

Wtf??? A ow, never heard that before. Can you explain how ot helps

[@drjay58]

Typical vet. Straight to expensive surgery

[@vijaygopal4904]

Click bait video. Nothing informative here. Message from the video : "Go see a vet and pay for expensive surgery". That should be the title of the video.

[@buddydog1956]

Typical Vet on YT...giving us obvious information and not telling us 'how' to remedy the dogs problem, the hematoma. I've found on another site the following; (1) Traumeel - topical ointment cream - apply 2x to 3x daily. (2) Licorice Tincture - 1ml/40# dogs weight - apply daily for 5 consecutive days, then re-evaluate (3) 95% Curcuminoids - these are tablets & they're taken 2x/day and 100mg/10# of dogs weight. (4) Topical Curcumin - this is another type of cream. (5) Tea Tree Oil - mix a/b 5 drops of this w/ a 50% solution of Olive Oil. This last one is what i'm using on my dog - just discovered it today. I was lucky to find this information, since my YT Vets tell us a lot of information about 'what' the symptom is but NOT how to remedy it - They want you & I, to bring our animal in for surgery ~ good luck people, hoped this helps out for your precious animal . Btw, these (5) solutions for hematoma also applies to cats as well ~

[@nicolepereira3750]

my dog had a hematoma 2 years ago. brought him to have it drained and it filled back up within a day or 2. so, i left it be and it shrank within a week and healed completely within a month. now he has one on the other ear, brought him in to have it drained again and it’s back faster and bigger than the last one was. i guess i’ll let it heal on its own as getting it drained is traumatizing for him. he is on pain medications and i hope it’ll heal as quickly as the last one did

[@badrinathmorey5415]

Please let us know how is your furry friend now? My dog developed hematoma last week and we are unsure whether to go for surgery or let it heal itself? The liquid was drained twice in 1 week. And now the liquid has filled up again. We are feeling helpless and unsure what to do..

[@nicolepereira3750]

@@badrinathmorey5415 Hi there. My dog’s hematoma recovered on its own in about 8 (long) days. I felt hopeless at first too, but be patient and wait it out. The best thing to do is get your dog into an e-collar and wait it out. Pain meds help the discomfort too. Hope your dog is doing ok!

Another vet video suggested leeching as one effective option for hematomas surprisingly enough.

[@poochyboi]

My lab had massive recurrent haematomas in both ears. Tried conservative approach multiple times but it kept coming back until finally getting surgery which fixed it permanently but caused slight deformation of his ears which wasn't too bad Cus it kinda made him look cuter tbh lol

[@ANew-cs5vy]

I just forked over $325 and it was back in a week. The next solution will be much much more expensive and will require general anesthesia to basically suture the ear together in several places😕

Frenchie had one, drained and became hard as a rock, folded. Now he has one on his right ear! He will lose both of those beautiful Frenchie, Dumbo ears😥 for crinkly, folded ones. Not much we can do.

[@karendwyer7013]

Thank you for this video. My vet suggested surgery before even looking at the ear. She is a mastiff and 10 year old... the anesthesia is more of a concern to me at this point. I'm letting it heal on its own.

Karen Dwyer my terrier mix has one too. he is 12. i am concerned about any surgery as well.

[@karendwyer7013]

Mike O'Hara... I hope everything works out for you and your fur baby. I'm going to err on the side of caution and not risk anesthesia. I would never forgive myself if something went wrong. If it were a true emergency I would take further action but at the moment she isn't even acknowledging the area... if not for my constant ear checks we probably wouldn't even have discovered the lump.

[@JimTMcDaniels1]

Saved me $2,300 the vet wanted for surgery etc! Tips I suggest: use an ice cube to cold numb the dog's ear for a bit before the needle! You must use a Small diameter needle/tip! Use a flashlight against the ear, to see through the ear so you avoid any veins when placing the needle. Possibly place the needle in like the center of the bulge sack. Attaching the needle syringe might help suck out the liquid. Take care

[@ikigai47]

It came back didn't it

​try applying s bandage to hold ears down til it heals.

[@auralsplint]

If your dog experiences this, and he/she is not in good health or older, surgery is not an option. Correction of the ear hematoma is using an Auralsplint. No anesthesia and no surgical wounds. Also very cost friendly.

@Diehard Christmas Movie my German Shepard is 10, it was approximately 1-1 1/2" long and about 1" wide. I read about it on the Internet and it was correct, it took a few months for this to clear up and go away. The ear reabsorbs the blood. The dog could have some disfiguration afterwards as well but that really didn't bother me. Mine is too old to be going under and I can't just drop 500$+ on an ear surgery that there is NO guarantee that it will fix it. My dog did not appear to be in any pain unless he was scratching his ear because it itched for other reasons. His ear is back to flat, but it isn't soft like it was before in that one spot, again, doesn't matter.

[@michaeloliver6745]

@Diehard Christmas Movie My dogs was warm too and soft. It was not an easy time and we had to keep him from scratching so it could heal... took several months but I felt confident that I was doing the right thing because I read so many places on the internet that it WILL absorb back into the body AND that the vet surgery is NOT guaranteed. Some experiences I read about, the owners ended up going back to the vet a couple of times shelling out $$$ for more than one fix and the dogs ear ended up being disfigured even then... its a very frustrating and slow process. Do some research of your own because ultimately its your decision.

My dog is a 10 yr old mastiff I was scared stiff about him going under anethesetic at his age so I left the hematoma to heal on it own but the poor dog was in so much pain so I got it surgically removed everything went well except he now has an infection in the wound area 7 days after the surgery ringing vet in the morning

[@codymullen3519]

Hi Doc. My dog got a hematoma about 8 weeks ago. It got to the point where the whole ear was filled with blood. My dog starting whimpering when it was touched. I ended up getting it drained at the vet, then drained it myself 2 more times over a few weeks. It kept filling up so I ended up getting the surgery done. After 3 weeks the stitches came out, and now 2 weeks later it has come back. My question is, if the hematoma takes up the whole ear, does it need to be treated any differently? Even though I know he will be in pain in the coming days/weeks, is it ok to leave it be? Thanks for any response in advance!

[@codymullen3519]

@@amyfarkas8359 yea mine is allergic to everything too. And gets bad yeast infections in his ear. Ive left his ear alone for a few weeks now and it has stayed at a constant size and doesnt seem to be hurting him, so im gonna leave it. If you can leave it, I would. I know he's crying and whimpering, but I think its better ro leave it and wait it out. Just make sure he's as comfortable as possible. Id also reccomend getting a no flap ear wrap to keep it in place. Either that, or depending on the size of your pup you could take an ace bandage or what I did initially before getting the ear wrap, I cut a sleeve off a long sleeve under armor compression shirt.

[@auralsplint]

Imagine using an aural splint to hold the ear upright, not bent over folded against his head using an ear wrap. A splint performs the function of allowing the animal to heal itself. No cutting, no medications or costly pharma.

[@pcolvin4235]

I have seen this done at home and we have done this with a cat. used a syringe from the farm store and drained it, and also injected daily with PenG, according to weight. So the fleas have been real bad and guess what, my 10 yr old Lab Rott has it. She shakes her head a lot and scratches. We have drained it two days now and it keeps coming back. After doing some more research it looks like whether I drain it or the vet drains it, it will come back every day. The cat wasn't quite this difficult, and it wasn't WWF wrestling, either.

To answer your question, and anyone who has the same, it's not water, but Serum or Plasma. It's what your red blood cells are suspended in. If that's what is in the ear, it means it's a blister, or it WAS a hematoma, but it has since clotted and is on the mend. Most likely, it's a good thing.
