Aural Haematoma

Hi all. Anyone have experience with this ear infection? My German Shepard has already been treated in one ear for this blood clot. I now believe it is occuring in the opposite ear.
Was a wopping 700$ for the first surgery, but since i caught this one early i hope it will be cheaper, since it is not as big.

aural hematomas are caused when the ears are shook so often that the blood vessels in the layers of the pinna(ear) become irritated and break open. if your gsd has a history of chronic ear infections that could be the reason why this has happened. surgery varies depending on the extent of the hematoma and the doctor's prefernce. you could also not treat it and allow the ear to heal itself but it does make the ear become cauliflowered in appearance. more for the dog's comfort do the surgery and get the hematoma drained.

I know this thread is a little old but I missed it when it first came out. Since you took your dog to the vet, then it probably doesn't have this but. . . My cat had ear mites which caused her to shake her head violently causing a hematoma. (Like you already said, Techgirl) A vet visit to drain the blood & stitch up the ear and some ear mite medicine and she was like new.
