    I'm sending lots of positive thoughts to Puff, hope it's something that a dose of antibiotics can clear up.

    Best wishes!

    Praying that it will just require some antibiotics and will clear up soon.
    Do you think it could be a hematoma? If it is, the ear flap would have been filled up like a balloon and the liquid would be red. A cat can get this if it shakes it's head too much, often from earmites or some kind of ear irritation.

    I was thinking hematoma, also. Those are actually more serious than you might think and require surgery to fix completely, and unfortunately in most cases it isn't cheap.

    Good luck, and let us know how it goes!!
