My 12 year old queen, Meeker, recently got an aural hematoma from shaking her head due to the ear mites she has. We took her to the vet and got her some meds for the mites and also the vet aspirated (drained) the hematoma. It came back (as i'd already read it would) and we're going to schedule a surgery to have it removed that way.
Has anyone had this happen before? What treatment worked for your cat?
I would rather not have her go through surgery because she's so shy, but I want her to be better and not to have 'cauliflower ear' or to have to deal with a sore ear continually if at all possible.

Thanks for the feedback!!
