At Pets R Us Animal Hospital in Commerce City, CO, we provide ear hematoma surgery to treat painful and swollen ear conditions in pets. An ear hematoma occurs when blood collects between the ear flap and skin, usually as a result of excessive scratching or head shaking.
Ear hematomas are common in pets with allergies, ear infections, or parasites like fleas. The swelling can cause discomfort, and if left untreated, it may lead to permanent ear damage or scarring. Symptoms often include a swollen, fluid-filled ear flap, redness, and your pet constantly scratching or shaking its head.
Our veterinary team will perform a thorough examination to determine the severity of the hematoma. If surgery is needed, we carefully drain the accumulated blood and close the area to prevent further fluid buildup. We use safe anesthesia and pain management throughout the procedure to ensure your pet's comfort and recovery.
After surgery, we provide detailed aftercare instructions, including managing any underlying conditions like ear infections or allergies. If your pet has developed an ear hematoma, contact Pets R Us Animal Hospital today to schedule a consultation. We’ll help your pet get back to feeling their best.
