Had to put the dog in the shop.

My GSD developed a hematoma of the ear. Her right ear was filled with blood and flopped over like a hound's. We put her in yesterday for surgical opening, cleaning and draining. She's home now with an Elizabethan collar and an ear all sewn up like a mattress. It's still flopped over. I hope it straightens out; she had such large, straight ears.

Do older doggy ears ever recover from this, or is she permanently asymmetrical?

3. My shepard mix has one semi-floopy ear.

Dear God, you have given us care over all living things; protect and bless the animals who give us companionship and delight, make us their true friends and worthy companions. Amen.



Dear God, protect and bless all beings that breathe, keep all evil from them, and let them sleep in peace. Amen.
--Albert Schweitzer, "Memoirs of Childhood and Youth"


Blessed are you, Lord God, maker of all living creatures. You called forth fish in the sea, birds in the air and animals on the land. You inspired St. Francis to call all of them his brothers and sisters. We ask you to bless this pet. By the power of your love, enable it to live according to your plan. May we always praise you for all your beauty in creation. Blessed are you, Lord our God, in all your creatures! Amen.
--Franciscan prayer
