My dog has a growing, fluid-filled, scaly lump on his ear. What is it?

Question

My 5.5 yr old lab mix has what appears to be a clear fluid filled slightly scaly lump on his left inner ear. It is located directly next too the auricular cartilage. It started out small like the size or a pellet, but it has grown to about the size of a dime. I do have photos of it, and would like to share if possible. I'm sure he needs to see his vet, but just curious to know what it could be related too. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 5 years and 9 months old

I see what you mean! It could be from Finn scratching his ear or it could be a cyst. You are right he does need to see a vet for it, so give the vet a call to make him an appointment. Best of luck.
