7 week old ear infection

I noticed tonight that one of my 7 week old puppies seems to have an ear infection. It is only in one of his ears. Not sure if he is too young for any of the ear treatments I have from the vet for my adult dogs. I can't get him into the vet until Monday because of Easter, so I was just checking to see if anyone had any ideas of what I could use to keep him comfortable until then. I did clean it out with some basic ear cleaner and it seems really itchy. My poor boy:-( Any advice you have would be much appreciated by him.

Re: 7 week old ear infection

we got back from the Vet with our 10wk.old, and she tested positive for ear mites! We asked our Vet to do a culture on the dark gunky stuff in her one ear. She's now three or four days on the antibiotic, and doing wonderfully. It was a Merial product that he prescribed, ear drops. They work great.
