Yesterday, a friend's young ferret jumped off his arm and fell to the
floor. He landed wrong, and he now has a 'cauliflower ear.' The vet said
he had not seen an ear hematoma in ferrets before, and wants to look at the
ferret again at the end of the week. I believe the ferret received a
cortisone injection, as well. (The ferret was checked by the vet for more
serious injuries. The big concern was a brain injury or broken bones.
Fortunately, it seems that only the ear was hurt.)
Has anyone had a ferret with an ear hematoma? If you have, could you
please tell me a bit about it and I will pass on the info to the ferret's
owner?
Thanks,
Jacqueline
