She has an "aural hematoma." Which means, she has a blood clot in her ear. (Notice the ear that is sticking out all funny?-- it is really swollen that big!) It feels like a big pocket of water is in her ear flap. Apparently these are caused by ear infections. My baby has had an ear infection for a while now! Poor thing!!! Luckily, hematomas aren't painful, just uncomfortable for doggies. We will definitely be taking a trip to the vet tomorrow. They can drain her ear, but that usually will take 4-5 times of draining it for the hematoma to go away for good. The alternate option is surgery. :( Oh goodness. I will be a wreck if she has to get surgery!!!
Anyways. This is what is happening in my life. :( My poor girl!
