Hi have a 6 yrs old German Shepherd. She recently had hematoma. Our vet manage to drain it - we did it frequently. Now, the wound has healed. Unfortunately, her ears has dropped ever since. It has left a pretty thick layer on her ears. I really really hope she can have her ears stand up again. Will that ever happen? What can we do to get her ears standing again? The vet said, the chances are 50-50 and the only thing we can do is give her hot water treatment (place a cloth dapped in hot water). So far, it doesn't seem to work.

There is a good chance that this ear will never stand again. You are going to have to keep an eye on this ear now for infection over the years. I have a girl that had a hematoma, and her ear never stood again.

there is a good chance it wont stand up as before. the ear now has scar tissue that is not as supple as normal. try placing a popcycle stick along the outside of the ear and wrapping it in a hot wet cloth several times a day
