Soooo.... we just got back from the vet. Over the weekend, Jack developed a hemotoma in his ear. Apparently, one of the side effects of his hypothyroidism is that he's prone to ear infections. Well, he got one and shook his head a little too violently and there you have it.
The vet opened up the hemotoma today and put in a little drainage tube, which has to stay in from 2-3 weeks. Therefore, the little guy has to wear an elizabethan collar. He's home now, and it's only 3 hours post-op. Other than the mild annoyance that the collar presents, he seems to be doing fine and not at all affected by the anesthetic. What a dog!
