Many patients with aural hematomas have concurrent ear infections. After hematoma repair, we usually bandage the dog's ear over the top of its head by using a Vetwrap (3M) head wrap. To make it possible for owners to clean the ear canal and administer medications, we carefully cut a hole in the bandage over the ear canal.
