You can purchase an over-the-counter ear flush solution such as Epi-Otic at most pet stores - this is safe to clean the ear with, to remove any wax or other debris from the ear. If the ear seems red, itchy, or painful, then these are signs that Lucy may have an ear infection. In that case, you will need to take her to the vet because prescription ear drops are required to treat the infection - these cannot be purchased over the counter.
