Most likely this is due to an aural hematoma, which is basically a blood pocket. The ear is tender and swollen, it can be similar to an abscess, but is caused by shaking or scratching the ears a lot. Ear mites, ticks, wax build up, etc, are all common underlying causes which create hematomas. If left untreated it will generally go away, but can take several months and will cause a lot of pain to your pet. It's best to go to the veterinarian right away where they will drain and suture the hematoma so that it will heal properly. You'll most likely be given an antibiotic and directions to clean the ear for a couple of weeks before the stitches can be removed.
Other causes can be due to an infection. If your dog scratched his ear and then dirt got into it then it could be an abscess. The treatment is similar and a vet's assistance is needed to drain the abscess. You'll receive antibiotics and cleaning instructions, but most likely, no stitches.
