So, its gonna be a bad day.  Got up checked on Champs' ear and low and behold there is another hematoma forming at the base of his ear again.  Arrgghhh!  I had a feeling something was up late last night.  He was flipping his head around alot and at one point he wimpered during one his head shaking episodes.  It was red when I looked at last night but the incision looked good, no bump, not hot to the touch...he just seemed more agitated with his ears yesterday than he has the entire time he has been home after the surgery.  Hubby, left in the wee hours this morning for a business trip so I am waiting for a babysitter to stay with kids so I can get him to the vet this morning.  I read that these things can come back, often up to 60% of pets will have a re-occurence.  I was just hoping we wouldn't contribute to that statistic.  Guess not.  Champs' ear, hubbys' car not running....Man, its gonna be bad, bad day!

Don't look at it that way. Things started out rough but will only get better!

Devonsangel, you're right things could be much worse...I just let this get to me this morning (not much of a morning person). ;) Gman, you're right...no money to spend, no car to go anywhere and the dog doesn't feel good....sounds like some Halo therapy is due. ;)

When my vet did the operation to my bulldog, he actually did it so it was still some what open, I believe it had a drain tube or something, and that was to let it heal very slow so the gunk and stuff could still flow out and not pool up... Did you vet do the same thing with your pooch?

Yes Halo or some source of focus always helps me, seems I'm focusing on recreation instead of RL stuff most of the time. Oh well, anyway- good luck w/Champ.
