My dog has really dark wax in his ear and is scratching them alot. They are warm to the touch.. And he has started whining when he is scratching them. There red on the inside of the ear. Is that an ear infection?

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It looks like ear canal infection. It is usually yeast or bacterial infection in origin. Please, take Gunner to your local vets today as he will need a course of ear drops with antibiotics to get better.
