You should take Flappy to your veterinarian for an ear exam. Ear pain can be caused by a bacterial, fungal or parasitic infection and also by an allergy. . Each of these requires a different treatment regimen, so it is important to find out what is causing the ache.. Your vet will do a thorough exam and cleaning of the ear. He will then discuss the options with you and then prescribe medications appropriate for the respective condition.
