Tick in ear!
Hey Reddit, first time posting here and I'm looking for some advice! I recently found a tick in my dog's ear after noticing she was shaking her head quite a bit. I made sure to remove the tick properly, but now her ear is swollen with a little swelling on the other one. I've done some quick research and I'm thinking it could be an ear hematoma, she doesn't seem to be in any pain or discomfort. My family says it'll be fine and will go down on its own, but I'm a little worried. Should I take her to the vet, or am I just overthinking this?
P.S. Her name is June and she’s a 1 year old Heeler/Mini Aussie and about 27 pounds
