Ear Tumors in Dogs

Our 11 year old male Westie had a small brown clump in his fur near his ear. I thought it was something he picked up on a recent walk. I held the fur, and attempted to clip the clump off. When I did, he yelped and it began to bleed. I ended up cutting it in half. The remainder is bleeding. I still can't see where it might be attached to his skin. I plan to take him to the Pet Emergency Clinic. Meanwhile, what do you think this is?

My 12 year Indian country breed dog suffers a button sized soft black mole at the back edge of one of its ears. The diet of my pet includes cookies,rusk and 1cup of milk for breakfast, curd rice for lunch and Indian flat bread (4 nos.chapatis)for dinner. Meat/fish is given monthly twice.He also underwent castration at the age of 3 years and is being treated with periodical vaccines since 12 years. he developed a large soft skin enlargement near his tail and become fat. he completely disinterested in walking for a long time. he prefers to lie down rather than to sit erect. He almost scratches his ears but the ears are very neat and clean. Now we reside in a place where there is no veterenarian facilities.please do kindly provide me with some valuable advice to recover my pet's health. I will really be grateful to your kindness. Thanks in advance.

My 2 year old Pit Bull has a growth we believe to be a polyp in her outer ear. It is completely blocking the ear canal. We took her to a local vet and they suggested Surgery is TECA the only option for this removal or can this be treated with another less invasive option. ?

My 8 year old shihtzu has a large growth in her right ear.It is black and pink in color and hairless. I have had the vet look at it before but didnt have the money to have it removed. it does not smell overly bad. she sometimes itchs that spot but it doesn't really effect her otherwise.

Good day, my baby pup has numerous almost scab looking spots in his ear, all the way form the canal to the outer layer of his ear. He scratches it a lot and struggles to shake his head but does it often. should i get it checked out

My shitzu is 10 years old. I found out she had a small tumor on her right ears 2 years ago. Her ear didn’t have infection since I clean her ears with zymox ear cleanser . I went to couple vets . Vet recommended to remove it . Last time her tumor grows bigger with infection she had tri optic oitments and antibiotics . Now I put tri optic ointment when her ear has smelll and clean it everyday
She acts normal and healthy . Vets say this is a complicated surgery on her ear tumor and would take biopsy after removed it
She will be 11 years old on next August
I don’t want she has pain from the surgery on her age . So I just watch and see. Please advise . Thanks 🙏

My 12 yr old shihtzu had surgery to drain puss from his side under ear and his ear just drains. This was almost year ago and now his cheek is swollen and his ear is draining a waxy foul odor luquid.He isn’t eating much and has no pep. What should I do I am on a limited income.

I don't know how old my daughters dog is. The Vet guessed her age at being 4 years, but she had been with us for 3 by that point and several more years with her previous owner.
I guess her age to be closer to 7-10.
She's a pit bull/black lab mix.
She saw the vet last year for her ears. He said she has very bad allergies and prescribed an allergy med.

About 2 months ago, we noticed a large growth on the inside (c. mid point) of her floppy ears. It's light pink and larger than a 50 cent all around (almost free floating, not like a flat mole but more like a balloon). It's attached by a thinner bit of skin. I took it for a tumor.

She's nicked it a couple of times but it otherwise doesn't seem to give her much grief. The inside of her ears look pretty nasty though (gray to brown to black colored, scaly, dry but almost tar like in places). The growth now has a dimple on it which bleeds off and on.

About an hour ago, she did something to the ear with the growth and it just started gushing blood from that dimple. I went through nearly an entire roll of cheap paper towels.
My daughter doesn't get paid until the 21st (I have no income).

Can the dog bleed to death from rupturing such a growth? What can I do to help her until we can get her to the vet?

Hi , my dog is a 5 1/5 year old male neutered 95 lb blue nose pitbull . He has had several ear infections over his lifetime . About a year ago he was diagnosed with vestibular disease . For the last 2.5 weeks he has what we thought as being a flair up , lots of shaking of the head , tilted head , unsteadiness , but the worst part is he is very uncomfortable . You go to touch his head and he screeches, he tries to itch his ear , he screeches. So I brought him in to his doctor yesterday , they put him under anesthesia ( he's very hard to work on otherwise ) to check his ear canals out to see if they needed to be flushed etc . The ear that bothers him is his right ear. He said they both looked great , but due to the fact that we've done X-rays, and he is in pain , he is worried he may be missing something . He thinks with should go get a cat scan for the possibility of a tumor inside the ear. What are your suggestions? Could it be something else ? If it is a tumor that deap in the ear , what are the options of removing it or are there any?

My 10 year old Pomeranian has an acute, soft tissue cyst the size of a marble that has developed at the base of her ear opening, on the outside. Texture is soft with a floating soft,mass within. Color is pinkish/lavender. There is what appears to be an pin hole opening on the furthest end of it. When I squeeze it some fresh & not so fresh blood appears. No pus, No smell. She doesn't seem to have any pain with it or anything that is bothering her about it.

My Boston Terrier was diagnosed with vestibular disease when I started noticing her first symptoms. It happened literally overnight we woke up and she couldn't walk without running into things she had a lot of nystagmus so we took her to the vet and that's when they told us she had vestibular disease. The day after that she had a lot of bloody pus colored drainage from her ear as well as a head tilt I took her back in they told me that she had an inner ear infection and started her on medication. she was on a combination of steroids and antibiotics for 4 weeks to try and get rid of the infection. Last week when I went to the vet they said that her eardrum has ruptured and they've never seen a case like hers. They started to taper off of steroids and antibiotics. I was noticing her getting a little better not a hundred percent but a little better with her on the steroids but now that they are trying to wean her off she is starting to really have trouble with her balance again. My vet seems a little confused by this which makes it very frustrating for me. I hate seeing her like this. I don't feel like she's in any pain just because she's acting normal eating drinking playing and being her normal six-year-old self. But it just doesn't seem to add up as to what this is. Any advice for a defeated dog mom?

My 9-10 week old beagle puppy, that we got less than a week ago, woke up with a large lump on her face near the ear. This is causing her not to eat or drink as much, and she struggles to keep her head elevated. We took her to our vet, they did not know what was wrong they gave her a Dexamethasone injection, and benadryll to help with little results, it has grown a lot bigger than what it was before the injection. The growth appeared a day or two after she had her puppy shots. Any solutions?

I have a 14yr old cocker spaniel, he has a large tumour on his left ear which bleeds and smells and a small tumour on the right ear and one on his back, I do not want to put him through loads of tests and surgery at his age any suggestions just to keep smell at bay, only one on his left ear smells. I'm bathing it with warm salt water and cotton wool and putting antibiotic powder on it. Please help
