Yes, the symptoms may indicate an ear infection. This would need to be confirmed by your veterinarian with a physical exam. Swabs of the ear can be examined under a microscope in the clinic to diagnose a bacterial or fungal (yeast) infection. An exam may also rule out or diagnose trauma, polyp or other mass that could be causing the symptoms reported. You can place an e-collar (cone) on Max to prevent pawing or rubbing at the ear until he sees the doctor.
