My dog shakes head a lot. What to do for ear issues before vet?

Question

Voodoo has been shaking her head a lot recently. I think she's having an issue with her ears. What can I do to help her till she can vet into the vet in a couple weeks. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 6 years and 11 months old | 35 lbs

I agree, it sounds like Voodoo is having a problem with her ears, and I suspect an ear infection. The problem with waiting a few weeks is that this is going to get worse, and if she keeps shaking her head, she will develop an aural hematoma which means more treatment. I would get her into a vet this week. Best of luck.
