[Dailydrool] Swollen ear

[Kelly Epley]

My boy Drake just went through this.  Basically they shake their heads so
hard a vessel in the ear breaks, bleeding between the ear flaps.  The
current protocol is to draw the blood off the ear, inject steriods and
recheck in a week.  They can try this 3 times before having to resort to
surgery.

In surgery, a triangle shaped piece of skin is removed from the inner ear
flap, then the ear flaps sewen together.  The end result is wavey ear flaps
with many knots where the stiches were.

I hope you won't need surgery, the lumpy, wavey ear is not as nice
