An aural haematoma is pronounced swelling of the external ear flap. The swelling contains blood. Persistent scratching or head shaking, due to untreated otitis, causes numerous small blood vessels between the flap and the skin to rupture. Treatment of haematoma usually requires surgery and you definitely has to leave this to your vet.
