We've seen similar reactions in dogs with hematomas on the ear flap. The hematoma is a gathering of blood and other fluids between the layers of the ear flap and it can be quite painful--hence the snapping if you try to touch the ear. So the vet visit is a good idea.
Good luck at the vet and please keep us posted.
