I'm not sure what to do in a case like this either. I guess it would depend on how swollen they actually are and what they look like. Are they raw, change in color, etc....

I am also not a fan of ear cropping because of the fact that many problems can arrise from ear cropping but I do respect other peoples opinions & choices. What's done is done and we are here for you in times of need.

Have you heard back from your vet?

If you want I can take a look at them if you PM me the pics, or I can PM you my email addy if needed. I'll see if I have any advice for you after I look at them. Good luck at your Dr appointment. Eyes problems are NOTHING to mess around with.
