3320. The funeral parlour's dog has an ear haematoma surgery

Ear haematoma is a swelling inside the ear flap that is filled with blood. 



Treatment is by incision, drainage of the blood and blood clots and stitching the sides of the incision, leaving a gap for drainage.

S-shaped incision is effective generally in preventing wrinkling or cauliflower ear which occur if there is no drainage or treatment of the aural haematoma.
