Maggie has had something on her ear for the past month. After some investigation it was determined not to be a tick. It didn't seem to bother her that much but whenever I picked at examined it she would wince and suggest that I stop.
It has grown from about pea sized to dime size since we first noticed it and we have been avoiding a "special" visit to the vet in hopes it would correct itself. Yesterday it did so in a big way. Either Maggie scratched it or it got caught on something but either way her ear looked similar to Evander Holyfield's after the second Tyson fight.
We didn't pay for the full biopsy, but we did have it removed as we couldn't see "waiting for it to get better" as the vet suggested. One event like this was probably enough. Needless to say Maggie came home feeling slightly groggy and pretty grumpy.
Other than having a big cone on her head and bumping into furniture, she seems in good spirits.
While she seems to be getting half-way decent sleep (drugs), we can tell you that a dog with a cone on her head means no one else in the house is getting much rest.
