Dheff 6 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 My uncles old bitch had this same issue, where we drained the fluid for it to come back. Turned out to be Aural Hematoma. I cant remember too much about it so I googled it and found this http://www.helium.com/items/1047492-what-causes-fluid-in-a-dogs-ear-lobes. If it was me I would get my dog to the vets for a blood test to rule out anything more serious. My uncles bitch has something wrong with her blood cells, so even with surgery to remove it, it will keep coming back.... Hope this helped. Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandymere 8,261 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Is it the ear lobe or inside? Next step would be vets anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Annmarie09 5 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Aural haematoma needs to be drained and then stitched a certain way to stop it filling back up til it heals, otherwise the dog will end up with a "cauliflower ear". Not an uncommon injury in dogs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stanley 5 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Common in spaniels I believe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
