Dear Shantha,

 

Atma namaste.

 

Thank you for your email.

 

 

Medical Background:

 

Affected Animals: Dogs or cats

 

When a dog has a painful or itchy ear, it may swing

its head about or scratch its ear to alleviate the

discomfort. This behavior can cause trauma to the

dog’s pinna, or earflap, that can add even more

irritation to the ear.

 

An aural, or ear, hematoma is a swelling in the

earflap resulting from an injury. When the tiny blood

vessels in the ear’s cartilage rupture and bleed, the

hematoma—a firm, fluid-filled swelling—will appear

within the dog’s ear. The examining veterinarian will

be able to treat this hematoma by any of several

procedures that drain the fluid. Minor surgery may be

required.

 

Clinical Signs:

The pinna of the ear will have a soft, fluid filled,

fixed swelling on the inside or concave side that can

vary in size. The swelling may be warm to the touch.

Usually there is an underlying allergy or ear disease,

called otitis, that can have many different causes.

 

Symptoms:

The flap of the ear will have a firm swelling on its

inside that may be red and warm to the touch. The

swelling can sometimes be at the base of the ear. Many

dogs with this condition have a history of ear

problems or infections.

 

Description:

An ear hematoma is a firm, fluid-filled, swollen mass

that is visible on the inside of the earflap. Usually,

a dog will get an ear hematoma from shaking its head

or scratching its ear because it has an underlying

allergy or ear disease.

 

Diagnosis:

The veterinarian will be able to diagnose an aural

hematoma upon observation of a swelling in the pinna

or flap of the ear. An aspirate, which involves

withdrawing fluid from the swollen area into a syringe

and looking at it under a microscope, may be performed

during the examination. The presence of blood in this

fluid will confirm an aural hematoma.

 

Prognosis:

The prognosis is excellent for the correction of the

hematoma. However, unless the underlying cause of the

irritation to the ears is controlled, it is possible

that another hematoma will develop at a later time.

 

Transmission or Cause:

The cause is due most commonly to self-inflicted

trauma such as scratching and shaking of the head.

This behavior causes the tiny blood vessels of the ear

to rupture and hemorrhage under the skin forming a

pocket of blood within the earflap. Allergies, an

infection or inflammation of the ear, the presence of

a foreign body, or ear parasites all cause pain,

itchiness or irritation that a dog would seek to

alleviate by head shaking or scratching.

 

Treatment:

There are several procedures for treating aural

hematomas; the veterinarian’s approach to the problem

will depend on the severity of the dog’s condition.

One method for correction—which requires that the dog

be sedated lightly—is placing a drain, called a teat

cannula, securely into the tip of the ear and allowing

the ear to drain from the cannula for a period of

three weeks. The ear eventually seals back together as

the owner “milks the fluid” from the hematoma through

the cannula each day.

 

Another method, performed under general anesthesia,

involves making a surgical incision into the swelling

on the ear, allowing the fluid to drain. Then,

multiple sutures will be stitched into the ear to seal

it back together. Approximately seven to 10 days

following the procedure, after the ear has drained and

healed fully, the sutures will be removed.

 

Failure to treat a hematoma can lead to enlargement of

the swelling to encompass the entire earflap. Also,

scar tissue formation within the hematoma will result

in a severely wrinkled, thickened earflap that will

predispose the dog to further ear problems.

 

Prevention:

To help prevent aural hematoma formation, it is

essential that the veterinarian determine what is

causing the irritation that is making the dog shake

its head or scratch its ears. A thorough examination

of the ears will be necessary. The veterinarian may

use an otoscope to look down into the ear canals to

determine the presence of a foreign body or

inflammation in the ears. Ear swabs often are taken

and the material is evaluated under the microscope to

look for causes of otitis such as yeast, ear mites, or

bacteria. Allergies also can cause irritation to the

ears. Wounds of the pinna or earflap should be treated

to prevent trauma to the ear caused by shaking and

scratching.

Pranic Healing:

 

Due to the advanced age of the patient, please aplly

the treatment gently and energize gradually and

lightly.

 

1. Invoke and scan before, during and after

treatment.

 

2. General sweeping.

 

3. Energize the affected ear with LB for localizing

effect. Apply localized thorough sweeping on the

affected ear.

 

4. Energize the affected ear with LWG-B for several

minutes.

 

5. Stabilize and release projected energy.

 

6. Repeat treatment 3 to 4 times a day until the

condition is substantially imporved. After th

econdition is substantially improved, gradually reduce

frequency of treatment to every day or every 2 days

for as long as needed.

 

7. The mitigating factor (allergy, mites, disease,

etc.) must be removed to avoid reccurance.

 

Love,

 

Marilette
