Pet's info: Dog | Jack Russell Terrier | Male | neutered | 2 years and 6 months old | 16 lbs
My dog just got treatment for his left ear for a yeast infection. The vet said he only had a infection in that ear but it seems like hes more uncomfortable with his right ear now. He's been scratching at it and rubbing it on the floor. The place we go to is unfortunately closed during the weekend. Is there any way I can help him feel more comfortable?

Poor Max! It's possible the infection has spread but it could be unrelated. If you have any routine ear cleaner, you can clean out the right ear every day to see if this helps. Have him examined as soon as your vet opens again.
