It might sound a bit crazy but have you tried crazy glue? Ears are big
bleeders and hard as hell to heal but crazy glue works.

I had a doberman years ago who had a tear in his ear. The tear had healed
but then later on my cat and him were playing my cat bit him in the same
ear. Not a huge bite just one tiny puncture but it bled and let me tell you
talk about blood it wasn't no tiny amount either. I went home the night it
happened and it looked like a slaughter happened in my kitchen. No matter
what we did he kept getting it opened and it would bleed. We tried wraps
he'd just tear them off. I bought the clotting powder you use for livestock
even and tried it. We even drugged him for two weeks trying to keep him
calm. This was an ongoing thing for over two months. As a last ditch
effort my vet told me to crazy glue it that she had read about it in a
journal.

Finally we got the bleeding stopped with the use the crazy glue. The glue
was finally the patch over the hole that would hold up to his shaking and
carrying in. As the ear healed I kept applying it every couple days. As it
would wear away I would add more to the spot never quite letting it get to
the point where there was no glue and it would begin to bleed again. It
took almost a month of this and he lost most the hair in that spot but it
finally healed.

The hair grew back and he was good as new. It's not an experience I'd ever
want to repeat!!!!!

I have an 11 month old boxer who likes to play rough with other dogs
at the dog park. Doing so, he has torn little chunks out of the
bottom of his right ear. I can not seem to get his ear to heal, he is
constantly tearing off the scabs while playing and it just seems to
pretty much stay an open wound. Does anyone have any suggestions on
allowing this to heal? Even when not around other dogs he still keeps
the wound open by shaking his head and hitting his ears on things
around the house. Any suggestions???
