Milo with more ear issues.............

[silkstocking]

....but different to last time, not an infection, he has a fairly large red fatty lump come up on the top of his inner ear.

I'm guessing it's a Histiocytoma    will have to go to the vets and see on Tuesday.

It doesn't seem to be bothering him at all  he isn't scratching it anyway....

I hope it is nothing sinister though 

It has come up big like that in a couple of days, because it wasn't there the other day when I did a full grooming session.

Sounds like the one Sarah's Toby and Holly's Rio, had - Holly took a good pic of Rio's http://www.cockersonline.co.uk/discuss/index.php?topic=40076.0

Hope Milo's OK

Poor wee soul. They always have something wrong with them when the vet is closed. Mine usually wait until a Saturday afternoon - my vet shuts at 12.30

Thanks Jaspersmum, I did see Toby's in the flesh so to speak (at a show), Milo's seems bigger than Tobe's was  , and I think it looks a little different
  but I know Toby's bothered him, or at least that he scrathed at it. Milo doesn't even seem to realise his is there

EDA I will try and get a photograph later

They can grow quite large especially if they are scratching them --- hope its just a benign histiocytoma

[sarah25]

Or it could be a Hematoma

An Aural Hematoma is a collection of blood under the skin of the ear flap of a dog or cat
Ear hematoma occurs much more commonly in dogs than in cats; a hematoma generally is the result of trauma to the pinna from an injury or from the dog or cat scratching at the ear.The entire ear flap can become swollen

Might be best to get it checked out.

Penel has suggested a Haemtoma too Sarah......guess I will have to wait and see what the vet says, Milo still has a "is my face bovvered" look about him, I havn't seeh him scratch all day. It has gone hard now, not squidgy any more

[sarah25]

Rosie our old girl had a Haemtoma hers went hard after a while.
The vet drained it for us and said it might keep coming back (it did).We took Rosie to see a Homeopathic vet she gave us some tablets,they worked.It takes alot longer but it didn't come back.

Oooh that sounds nasty.  Hope you manage to sort Milo out quickly Lisa    At least he is not in any discomfort with it

Milo has to have his ear operated on Friday It is a large Histiocytoma, and the vet wouldn't say much, just that it would be sent away for analyis

And do boot, what do you know yesturday, said ear started stinking like pukey stuff, so they are going to have a good look around in it whilst he is under, as he has had a good few problems with that ear recently, and even Thornits hasn't helped it 

[cdpops]

I hope his op goes Ok and they manage to sort Milos ear troubles out.

[sarah25]

Poor Milo 

We to hope the Op goes well

Oh poor Milo (and you).

Could it just be that the histiocytoma is stopping the air circulating and causing the whiff this time round?

Hope it all goes well for you on Friday, and that the results will come back quickly to stop you worrying!

 

[Gunner]

Poor Milo best of luck for Friday what a worrying time for you

[JaspersMum]

Hope the op goes well - Holly said that Rio's reeked too
