Perseus Ear Hematoma has not healed 100%
Perseusβs 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.

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.
