could be wax and crap in his ear flush his ears and try some bicarbonated drops in them to help soften any wax . dont go poking down its ears as if something in thiere you could push it further in.. Why give antibiotics if you didnt know if it was an infection?

May be ear mites. Looks as though they have brown/black gunk in their ears. Best thing for ear mites is this: http://www.petdrugsonline.co.uk/p-1709-canaural-ear-drops.aspx?VariantID=4231&CAWELAID=1612938862&cagpspn=pla&gclid=CJLU1J-inLwCFesSwwodsykAzQ

My old lady's dog had a problem with it's ear was a bit red inside looked to me like a bit of infection, anyway took it to vet and turned out to be a food allergy.All i would say if you are not sure of the cause take it to the vet

My dog had an ear infection once shaking his head from side to side

and i was advised to get OTODEX Ear Drops which worked brilliant

Within about 4 days all signs anything was wrong was gone. Dont let the cheap price

put you off, this stuff worked wonders for me and at £3 you cant grumble, good luck

OH YEAH also clears ear mite which it could be, as stated by skycat...

get it to the vet there experts , he will have a proper look inside 1st, then tell what it is and what to treat it with. my pup got some mange of a fox , got it sorted but took awhile to clear its 1ear from it, see your vet.

You can also use vinegar and water mix, one part white vinegar to one part water

It does the same as the drops do, one of my past dogs had constant ear problems and it helped to clear the ear out, if the drum is damaged though never use vinegar.

thornit can be dangerous. Canaural needs prescription. I thought ear mites are usually in summer. ruggles is good natural stuff and it loosens wax,but it does stink a bit.
