https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/30590/non-healing-pinnae-wounds I am looking for advice on what to do about these non healing pinnae wounds in a charity kennelling setting. Lack of previous history means I do not know how these started or how long they have been present, but we have known the dog about a monthen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/240893?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 24 Feb 2023 10:43:31 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:2da1a146-229e-4dca-bbc6-8cd3892f37b5charlievelyn<p>Thank you so much for this speedy response Stephen. No diagnostics have been carried out yet, but I can go back and suggest this. There is no history of travel or import.</p> <p>Do you think we would find similar challenges with healing after the amputation for histopathology? How would you recommend managing this post op?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/240891?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 24 Feb 2023 10:08:22 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:1fd454f5-911e-41ac-85bc-468a2e6c760aStephen Shaw<p>Presuming no significant ear disease or pruritus, the presence of tail tip lesions and ear lesions is suggestive of vasculitis. I would make a neat amputation of the most affected ear and send for histopathology, although I know that does not solve the problems of handling. If there is a possibility of import then consider infectious disease causes of vasculitis. What is the cytology and bacteriology from the ear tip lesions and I presume the dog has had broad spectrum parasite control.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
