It could be that Milo has an ear infection, and he will need to see a vet for it. I would take him into the vet first thing in morning. The vet can diagnose if he has an ear infection, what is causing it (mites, yeast, or bacteria), and can treat him for it. It's very important to have any ear problem checked out and treated promptly, as leaving it untreated can lead to hearing loss.
