I would recommend to call Mini's doctor and ask about a pain medication or an anti-inflammatory. Depending on the doctor's preference, for very inflamed ears, some pets will take a steroid such Prednisone and an additional pain reliever. Some dogs may also take an NSAID such as Rimadyl to control pain and inflammation. It definitely sounds like Mini needs something else in order to properly treat her infection. I hope she starts feeling better quickly and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
