My dog has an ear hematoma. What's the immediate next step?

Question

I think my dog has a hematoma. What is the next step from here? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 9 years and 11 months old

The hematoma needs to be drained by your vet first. Then you will need pain/anti-inflammatory medication to help reduce further filling of the ear pinna so that the ear can return to normal size. And lastly treat for any underlying ear infections, which is the -# 1 cause for ear hematomas. Schedule an appt with your vet and they should be able to help take care of all of this for you and your pet Millie.
