An aural haematoma in dogs is a condition where the ear flap fills up with blood. Aural haematomas are fairly common in dogs and have a good outlook if treatment is started as soon as possible and the underlying cause is found.
The most common cause of aural haematomas in dogs is trauma, from excessive head shaking or ear scratching. This is often due to an underlying ear infection or allergies. An aural haematoma is also known as a cauliflower ear, and it can develop at any age in dogs.
