My dog has an ear infection and the vet can't see her until next week. What can I do to keep the area clean and keep my dog comfortable while we wait?
Post Body
I have a year old Duck Toller and this is the first time she's had an ear infection. The whole area is red, there's some discharge and a strong smell, it's clear that she's uncomfortable.
I've been cleaning the area with clean water and gauze once a day since I noticed it yesterday. We have an appointment with our regular vet, but she can't fit us in for another week and I'm concerned about the infection getting worse. I also don't want my dog to be uncomfortable in the meantime.
Is there a best way to proceed until we get her in?
