Lump in ear

[Izzie]

Jess has a small lump in her ear, where she may have caught it on brambles, the ear is hot and red, looks like a bit of infection in there.

Happened yesterday, have cleaned with Hibi, but it keeps weeping, watching in case it swells up anymore than it has already

Anything else I should do?

[SuzAndTheDiva]

Aww hope it heals up soon!!

[Val]

Put some Vera on it 

[Izzie]

Fanks Val! 

[Fragusa]

What about the sulphur cream w/antibiotic properties Val & Bev recommended for open hotspots since it is infected?  I still plan to try that with the Vera & Hibi or sea salt water wash next time Fraggie gets the serious itchies...which I never know when they are going to hit...can't find a pattern or cause.

mmm...need a pic really...but..if it just a bramble scratch that her immune system hasnt coped with...then yep vera...etc etc...but knowing what she like    just asking...it not a burst hematoma from an ear shake?...

[Izzie]

its the size of a pea.

Ear is red hot, will try to get a pic later.

[kizkiznobite]

is it on a vein?

[Izzie]

[Izzie]

[kizkiznobite]

[Izzie]

I will try but cant promise anything, she doesnt like it being looked at, let alone being cleaned

[Val]
