Abstract:
The present study was conducted at Veterinary Clinical Complex, Lala Lajpat Rai University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Hisar, Haryana. Three male dogs were presented with a complaint of ear swelling with constant head shaking. Fluid-filled, soft fluctuant swelling was observed on concave surface of pinna under physical examination. Diagnosis was carried out on the basis of history, clinical signs and auriculocentesis which revealed blood-tinged fluid confirming aural haematoma or othaematoma. Modified Marshall Putney’s technique was performed to treat aural haematoma under general anaesthesia. Protective pressure bandaging was applied after surgical technique. Post-operatively, broad spectrum antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and anti-histaminic drugs were administered for 5 days intramuscularly. Sutures were removed on 14^th post-operative day. All the three dogs had fruitful recovery without any complication.
