Brego’s Surgery!
2/2/2013 – Discovered what was initially thought to be a Hematoma in Brego’s left ear.
2/3/2013 – Took him to the Vet to be looked at.
They gave us a few options, and we thought the best one would be to have them do surgery on the ear. The main purpose was to drain the fluid, of course, but then they (*Details about the surgery and what they did after they got rid of the fluid*)
The surgery was a great success! He came through like a champ, good boy! He stayed over night with the vet so he could recover for the first several hours in peace without being messed with by the other dogs. I missed him so much! We’re practically joined at the hip, so you can imagine how difficult it is for me to be separated from him over night! (I know, crazy dog mom talking… haha.)
2/4/2013 – He is home now, blahblahblah
What happened to his ear?! What is a seratoma?
After the surgery was done, the vet told us that it was not a hematoma, but it was a seratoma, which has a similar treatment. A seratoma is where the two layers of skin in his ear separated and fluid built inside it, which if left alone would have produced extreme pain and infection, loss of hearing, and a higher risk of ear infections in the future. Good thing we were able to treat him!

This post was saved as a draft from a long time ago! He is all better at this point, as it has been a while! His ears are a little less symmetrical, and he may have some hearing loss, but other than that, he’s doing great! 🙂
