Help Bandit get Drain ear, medication for ear and dry skin — Mahwah, NJ

I adopted Bandit from a shelter when he was 6 weeks old and we’ve been together ever since. Growing up he loved to be outside, going for hikes but no matter what he always wanted to stay close to his family. He’s very obedient and knows lots of tricks. These days in his old age he appreciates treats and laying on my bed with me.

He has a hematoma in his right ear and very dry skin causing him to itch a lot, putting him in a lot of discomfort daily. It is to the point where I have a t-shirt on him so he can’t scratch himself.

Because I’ve had him since he was a puppy and it’s been 11 years now. He’s very loyal to me, showing tons of affection. I love him so much and couldn’t imagine life without him. He doesn’t deserve to suffer like this. He’s always been a happy dog, full of life and I want to see that again. I wish I had the money to take him to the vet, but being unemployed and on social services I can’t afford it.

I am Unemployed, I have been looking for a job for months now remotely because I don’t have a car and nothing has come up. The only income I receive is from social services which is $91 twice a month and I use that to buy dog food .I am in desperate need of help, please.
