Have you ever wondered why your pet’s ear looks swollen after they’re shaking their head? These are some pictures of Kitten, a rescue cat, who has a hematoma on her right ear. A hematoma in a cat or dog is a collection of blood that pools outside of blood vessels, which is a painful, swollen lump. This starts most commonly when your pet is shaking their heads or scratching at their ears often. Removal consists of drainage and if left untreated, it can cause cauliflower ear, or deformation of the ear.
