Dog's ears swollen like a water bag

Dog's ears swollen like a water bag may be caused by reasons such as scratching with claws, trauma, external ear inflammation, and sebaceous gland tumors. If the swelling is caused by scratching with claws, it is a normal phenomenon and there is generally no need to worry too much. If the abnormal swelling of the ears is accompanied by other symptoms, such as red skin, pain, etc., it is recommended that the owner take the dog to a regular pet hospital in time for a detailed examination to clarify the cause, and carry out standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor. Otherwise, it is easy to delay treatment and affect the recovery of the disease.

Scratching with claws

If the dog's ears have itching sensation and often scratch excessively with claws, it may affect local blood circulation, causing local swelling that looks like a water bag. You can improve it by using ice packs and hot compresses, which can promote blood circulation and relieve local swelling. Generally, there is no need for drug treatment.

Trauma

If the ears are subjected to direct or indirect violence, it can cause damage to the skin and soft tissues, leading to swelling, pain, and a water bag-like appearance. You can take herbal medications for promoting blood circulation and relieving pain under the guidance of a doctor.

External ear inflammation

This is an infectious disease that may be caused by poor local skin hygiene and inflammation stimulation. Symptoms include itching, swelling, and pain in the external ear. You can follow the doctor's advice to take antibiotics orally or apply antibiotic solutions. In severe cases, it is recommended to take the dog to a regular pet hospital for intravenous antibiotic treatment.

Sebaceous gland tumor

This is a benign skin tumor that usually occurs around the ears. As the disease progresses, it may cause the sebaceous glands to enlarge, resulting in local swelling. The tumor shape looks like a water bag. It is necessary to consult the doctor and consider surgical treatment.
