Saw the emergency vet on call at 8 am this morning. Nicole's right ear is black and cherry red, it is crumpled up and hard.
I was told it looks like a vascular problem in her ears, particularly the right ear.
I was told that this type of circulation problem can happen for no reason (to tips of ears, toes and tip of the tail) ..... and we can't figure out a reason ... Nicole doesn't seem ill as she is active, running around playing, eating well, and not bothering her ear at all.
There is nothing that can be done. Nicole is on metacam and an antibiotic and has been since Wednesday.
The vet doesn't think it will get any worse.
I think it looks like Nicole is going to lose the tip of her left ear and quite a bit of her right ear.
The vet said the tip of Nicole's right ear will likely fall off.
