Okay so here´s the story:
My flemish giant named boris who is about 1year old (next week), somehow managed to get an ear hematoma in his right ear. We visited a vet 3 times, on the first time she emptied out the blood and sprayed some cortison from a spray bottle into the ear, but the blood returned within 30 min, however she said to wait a week before the next appointment, so we did. On the second appointment she did the exact same procedure as on the first. Again, the ear filled up fairly quickly but it no longer looked the same, it was more wrinkly and harder. On the third appointment the vet said the blood had gotten into the connective tissue, that is why it is wrinkly/looks different. This time she empied out the blood and injected cortison into the ear. Again, it seemed to start filling up again, much slower however this time and it took 2 days to be "full" again. The vet went on holiday so we could not get another appointment, and when we told her that the ears was now rock solid and droops, seems to also hurt from time to time, she said to go see someone else. I am really worried and would like to fix him! So I went to see another vet, showed her these photos and she said it is probably cartilage. I am not sure and am still worried for my dear friend... any insight would be great help! Sorry if my english was bad, I live in Finland.:nono
