Plain-English summary
A female Labrador was brought to the vet with an aural hematoma, which is a condition where blood collects in the ear due to trauma. Instead of the usual surgical treatments, the vet used homeopathic remedies, including Hamamelis, Arnica, and Bellis. Remarkably, this approach successfully restored the ear's function without any deformities. This case suggests that homeopathy could be a viable treatment option for similar ear issues in dogs.
