I uploaded pictures of Mudflap's ear tonight, in case they will help diagnose
what we
are looking at, and if it should be removed.

I am not a vet - but that may be a hemangiosarcoma - it looks a lot like one
that I had removed from a shelter ferret, Gracie. If you look at Dr. Williams'
powerpoint presentation on his page and search for hemangiosarcoma, you can
see a picture of Gracie's ear. We had it removed and have had no recurrance,
according to her new owners.

I hope that this helps and I do recommend getting that removed as soon as you
can.
