Firstly I have been through this 3 years ago with my Frenchie who had a very nasty one that never reacted to treatment until he ended up in surgery with a purple, ready to explode ear (after months of failed draining and minor surgeries)
Unfortunately he has a new one in his good ear, but thankfully it is filling slowly, no skin colour change and doesn't seem to be causing him any pain. He allows me to touch it and he even sleeps on it. He is still playful and eating and sleeping well. I have also read that they do eventually self heal but the ear crumples (doesn't bother me, his already got one that's collapsed). For all these reasons I am reluctant to put him through the trauma of multiple vets visits and surgery if I can assist it naturally healing at home.
Please be kind. He is showing now signs of pain. If he was it would be a no brainer, he would be taken to the Vets but having been through it all before with a much nastier one I'd like to try and help it heal naturally at home.
Does anyone have any tips?
