My puppy's ears were just cropped and he's in pain. What do I do?

Question

Hi I'm Abdula Recently I adopted a puppy "Afghan Kuchi" He had been abondoned earlier and I don't have any info regarding him. He seems to be around 12-14 weeks old, And his ears had been cropped recently I'm guessing maybe around 7-10 days back. I have previously owned labs and pointers but have no experience regarding care for cropped ears and I don't have access to a vet. He seems to be in constant pain and I'm feeling helpless right now. Earlier he had fleas and ticks but I cleaned him. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | 2 months and 26 days old | 8 lbs

Poor Thor! Cropping a dog's ears can be very painful, and seeing a vet would be the best thing for him. Unfortunately, there are no safe human pain medications you can give him, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. I would find a vet to see him who can check to make sure his ears are healing correctly, and can prescribe some pain medication for him.
