A dog ear hematoma forms when blood accumulates in the ear flap due to head shaking or scratching, often triggered by ear infections or allergies. Treatment options range from needle drainage ($150–$300) to full surgical repair ($400–$1,000). Surgery provides the best long-term outcome and prevents the 'cauliflower ear' deformity.

Dear Pet Owner,
Looking for dog ear hematoma treatment? Costs can vary significantly between clinics. One clinic may charge $150 while a specialty practice might charge $1,000. Both may offer quality care — the key is knowing your options.
Needle drainage is cheapest but recurs in up to 50% of cases. Surgical repair with sutures under anesthesia is the most effective option. Treating the underlying ear infection simultaneously is critical to prevent recurrence.
Physical exam, ear cytology, drainage or surgical repair, anesthesia (if surgical), ear medication, e-collar, and follow-up suture removal visit.
