My Pet's Ear is Very Swollen. What Can I Do?

A VetMed Viewer asks: "My American Bulldog has a chronic ear fungus that he scratches at and it is infected and keeps filling up with blood. He's been to the vet twice this week and now it's filled up again, his poor ear is sticking straight out. He's on antibiotics too, any home remedy until we can get back to our vet?"
