When Pierre, my dog, came up to my room after being let out of my parents room this morning I noticed his right ear was hanging down while the other was sticking straight up. I didn’t think much of it but noticed it was still like that an hour or so later.
Something told me to check it out, even though something like this is not extremely uncommon, and when I felt his ear it was very swollen. I called the vet and told them and they told me to get him in asap. Of course I wasted no time and got him there.
At the time of me writing this he is in surgery and I am expecting a call in about an hour to hear from them when it is over. I can’t begin to say how hard it was to watch Pierre strugle to not be taken back, away from me, to be prepped for surgery.
The ear was swollen because he had a blood vessel rupture. They said without surgery it would just keep filling up with blood and cause serious problems to his ear.
Of course an update will be coming later today.
