Sadie started scratching at her ear a couple of days ago and when she started shaking her head violently, Wen cleaned both of her ears and medicated them. As she swabbed out Sadie’s ears, Wen realized that one ear felt thicker and that by shaking her head, Sadie had caused an ear hematoma in her left ear. The ear was just beginning to fill up with blood and serum, but once it starts, it needs to have surgery to repair it, so Wen made an appointment for Sadie’s vet, Dr. Nina to do surgery. Meanwhile, to discourage Sadie from shaking her head, she had to wear the good old “cone of shame.”
Wen dropped her off at the animal hospital for surgery this morning, so Molly and I will have to entertain ourselves until Wen brings Sadie home later on this afternoon. We won’t be able to bother Sadie tonight since she’ll be sedated from surgery and her head will be all bandaged for a couple weeks. Fun times for poor Sadie, thanks to her itchy ears from allergies. (Not!)
