Story

Perseus has an aural hematoma in his right ear, his ear has swollen to 3 times its normal size and is very painful. His mom is elderly and on permanent disability, she cannot afford to take Perseus to the veterinarian for treatment, she barely gets by with day-to-day expenses. Perseus and his two siblings are their mom’s only companion and without them she would have no one. Perseus’s mom said, β€œhe is beautiful and so loving with me, he comes to me when he knows my disability is getting me down, it’s so upsetting to see him in pain.” 

Perseus needs the fluid drained from his pinna and multiple sutures placed in the affected area to prevent any recurrence. Perseus’s vet said that the longer we wait to treat his ear the more likely Perseus’s ear will rupture and cause permanent damage. 

This beautiful boy needs your help today. Please can you help Perseus and his mom?

Perseus’s ear hematoma has not healed 100%. Perseus had a painful ear hematoma that caused his ear to swell 3X its normal size. The fluid was drained from Perseus's pinna and his ear was treated topically. He was sent home with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications which his mom has been diligently treating him daily for a month. Unfortunately, Perseus's ear has not healed 100%. Perseus has a check-up appointment this week to evaluate if he will need surgery.

We will have more updates soon!

Perseus received the medical care he needed because of your generosity!

Upon examination the treating veterinarian opted to drained the fluid from Perseus hematoma and treat his ear topically. He was also sent home with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. A cytology was taken to see what was causing Perseus to shake and scratch at his ears so much that it caused the hematoma. The treatment seems to have resolved the issue, however he is being monitored by his veterinarian to make sure the hematoma doesn't return, if it returns Perseus will need surgery. Prayers that this handsome boy makes a full recovery.
