It would be better if Rocket is seen sooner. You can ask them to put you on a cancellation list, where they call you if an appointment opens up sooner. You can also see about taking him into another vet in your area if they can get him in sooner. Finally, if his ear is really bad, take him into an ER vet. Best of luck.
