Answer

This sounds like an aural hematoma or pooling of blood from a broken blood vessel. This often happens because teh dog is scratching at the ear or shaking it due to an ear infection or some other irritation in the ear area.
You can read about the hematomas here

Usually the vet needs to fix that and also find and treat the underlying issue.
Hope this helps you!
