My Dog is sick :-(

My Dog is really sick :-(

I noticed over the last couple of weeks that he was scratching his ears more than useral and that every now and then he was yelping with pain when he was scrathing.

Over the past few days I've noticed that he's been carefully scracthing his ear but no matter how gentle he is he is still yelping in pain from it.
The night before last he didn't sleep all night and I know because he sleeps in my room and he was yelping all night when he was scrathing his ear.

It's gotten so bad that he is walking around with his head tilted to one side and is shaking it like he has water caught in it. He is trying not to scratch it but everytime he lifts his paw to his ear I know he's gonna yelp in pain.

Even though I know he's gonna yelp in pain it still makes me jump when he does it' It's now upsetting me so much seeing the dog in so much pain and not being able to do anything about it.

I wish that I could give him something for it but I'm not a vet so I can't.

I know he's got a ear infection as I recognize the symptoms and I know he's in a lot of pain from it.

It's also spread to one of his ears so one of his eyes is starting to look a mess and it's so upsetting to see him like that.

My dad is trying to get the dog in the vets today and I said ring round as many as you have to as he needs to go to a vets today as I'm not willing to wait till Tuesday for the dog to be seen as he's in so much pain now.

I just wish I'd realized days ago what's wrong with him as it wouldn't of gotten so bad but I just thought he'd hurt his ear and that he would be ok in a few days.

I hope he's gonna be ok as I love that dog so much!!!!
