It sounds like Danica has some type of ear infection. Your infections are painful and should be treated with appropriate medication. Take her into the veterinarians office and they will look at a sample under the microscope to determine what medication is most appropriate. Ear infections can become serious and move deeper into the canal which will cause even more problems. Make this appointment right away. Hope Danica is feeling better soon.
