shepp 2,285 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I wonder if anybody has had experience with these. My Bedlington has a large one, I section of her ear is filled with blood and it has been drained twice but has refilled. My options are to drain again, which I did myself last night and it was not a pleasant experience for the dog or myself. Have surgery, which will cost £300, plus anything else they can tuck me up for. Or leave it and let the ear become cauliflower, not too sure how that will look? I would be interested to hear anybody else's outcomes from a dog with this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is not causing any pain, but the down side with the operation is she will need a cone collar and leave her all day while i'm at work in the garden. Not sure if it's dodgy leaving her on her own for all these hours wearing one. I'm pissed off with the vet turning me over for £500 last week on having blood tests, scans, ear cleaning, draining, injections, sedative etc. the f****r went to town on my wallet while she was in his care for the day.

By eck the vet has taken the p**s,if its possible go to another vet,but I would still have the surgery done and if shes got to wear the collar then so be it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shepp 2,285 Posted October 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 This is my third vet, they are all tuck up merchants round here, in fact I have decided that these are my last two dogs I will own. If they go wrong it can cost thousands. My father knows an old couple who spent £14,000 on their dog, it was money they never had and it caused them to have to move into a mobile home, not joking! The vet knows to most it is a member of the family and they really take advantage of the fact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lab 10,979 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 My old bitch has a cauliflower ear now. Her ear filled up and I got it drained at the vet. They told me it probably would fill up again and I should leave it around a week before draining it again. Think it's to do with clotting. Well it filled up, after a couple of days she came out the kennel and her ear had shrivelled up. And guess what....she doesn't give a f**k cause she's a dog and not a page 3 model.
