My dog has a painful ear bump. Is it a hematoma? Should I see a vet?

Question

Hello. My name is Lena. I have 2 french bulldogs. Male and female. But recently a bump from my male dog's ear formed. We researched it and we thought it was called Hemetoma. And it's a little hard to touch. And when its accidentally touched he just make a noise or a signal that he's hurt. What home remedies should we do? What food should we feed him/them? Should we take him to the vet clinic right away? Is is harmful? Sorry if my questions are alot. Thank you in advance. Pet's info: Dog | Airedale Terrier | Male | 4 years and 9 months old

Hi there. I would recommend taking Tommy to the veterinarian. If it is a hematoma, they will likely drain it, which will make him more comfortable. Often these patients have an ear infection as well that will need to be treated. Of course if it is not a hematoma they can help make a diagnosis and treatment plan him. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
