Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund | 6 years and 3 months old
My dog accidentally got a hair scrunchie left on his ear over night and now his ear is swollen. I have tried using an ice pack to reduce swelling. What else can I do to help him

Gentle massage to the ear can help restore circulation and reduce fluid buildup. If his ear is still cold to the touch without the ice, he may need to be seen by your vet to determine if there was damage done to the tissue that may need to be treated.
