Damaged ear flap of German Shepherd dog after suffering from Aural Hematoma which had been surgically treated.
An 'Aural Hematoma' is a pocket of blood which has formed under the skin of the dogs ear flap when tiny blood vessels in the ear have ruptured. This is caused by trauma to the dogs ear, which can be from injury or intensive scratching.
