The attached pictures are those of a swollen dog's ear.
We observed that the ear of our local dog is swollen without visible lesion, cut or scar.
However, it seem there isn't abscess or pus in the observed mass.
What could possibly be the cause and how can it be treated?

Please check this with your vet; there are a number of possibilities, but only qualified, registered vets are allowed to make a diagnosis.

The issue is an otoematoma, very common in dogs. Usually, it appears because the dog has an ear inflammation with itch, and it provokes violent scrolling of the head. It is not dangerous, but needs a surgery to limite a retraction very bad to see.
