The ear has a poor blood supply, so the medications used to treat the ear infection have to be topical and applied in the ear. In addition, ear infections are caused by yeast and ear mites in addition to bacteria, so the cause has to be diagnosed in order to treat it correctly. You need to take Franky into the vet to have the cause of his ear infection diagnosed and treated. I would take him this weekend. Best of luck.
