Singapore dog - right ear swollen with blood - AURAL HAEMATOMAAural haematoma is rarely seen in small canine breeds. The Papillon Cross dog kept scratching his right ear for several months.  His back half was itchy resulting in more scratching and a change in the colour of skin spots from light brown to black, giving him a two-tone body.  The hairs on this black spotted back did not grow long enough as it would be traumatized. 

Finally, the right ear flopped due to a big swelling in the inside surface of the ear.   It is called an aural haematoma.  The big blood vessels inside the ear flap burst and form a big clot. 

General anesthesia and surgery were need to remove the clot.  Will the ear then be able to stand up as it used to do so?  The veterinarian cannot guarantee this.  

It will be best to check with your veterinarian early what irritates your pet, saving a lot of pain and anguish for yourself, not forgetting the expenses in having to tranquilize, anaesthetize and operate on the ear.
