By your description, he likely needs veterinary attention. If there is a rescue service or Animal Control service, you could contact them to get the puppy. If you take him to a veterinarian, you may be financially responsible for his medical care. The ear should be evaluated, cleaned and treated as indicated. The pup may need antibiotics and pain management. He will probably need to be kept indoors during treatment and until he recovers.
