Thank you all. I just called the vet and she asked if I still had some of his pain medicine left from his dog bite incident in April (which they also handled). I do still have some left, it is a liquid and she told me that if I didn't want to spend the 100€ to have her come in tonight to see him, she could charge me 15€ for a telephone appointment and she would tell me how much of the medicine to give him and see him before opening in the morning. He was just weighed on Wednesday at his appointment so it worked out well. I gave him the medicine and she will be there at 8am to see him rather than 10am. I am a student and my vet is always great about trying to solve medical problems that aren't 100% emergency with the least cost but the most efficiency. She also gave me her cell number so that if he gets worse I can reach her directly and bring him in anyways. I gave him the medicine about 10 minutes ago and he is already acting much better. He even ate some of his food which he was not interested in when I got home even though it was his normal eating time. I am so happy that he is at least not in so much pain and that the vet was able to work with me for a solution that was immediate but not 100€+.
What does an aural hematoma look like? and where would it be on the ear? It feels like a hardish sack under the skin below the ear which is also now protruding inside the ear. It is tender but not warm. Does this sound right? |
