Jemma's going to the vet... again...
She went and gave herself a hematoma or maybe it's an absess, at the base of her right ear. Off to the vet tomorrow morning... Hopefully it won't be a major surgery or anything.

:sad:

lol no, it was supposed to show her ear sticking out, but it doesn't. It just looks like her normal mutt ear there.

This is the bubble:


And this is the extreme mutt ear caused by the bubble:

jemma off to the vet.... again
Great idea showing a photo of the problem.
I have seen this before but much worse with the whole ear swollen like that, In the photo it doesn't look infected due to absence of redness, and if not sore then also indicates not infected. (Symptoms of infection heat redness pain)
The two sides of the ear split apart and fill with fluid or blood or pus, often resulting from a puncture wound or minor trauma. Usually if only blood or fluid it resolves itself but sometimes ear can stay fat or the whole ear is permentantly droopy, looks funny but doesn't bother the dog.
cheers

So we're waiting and seeing. He said he doesn't drain them when they're at the base of the ear like that. It'll either go away or become a full out hematoma. In the meantime, she got an antiallergy shot to try to get her to stop scratching it.

While we were there, the dog before us had a full out hematoma. I thought that was a pretty crazy coincidence...
