She may be in heat or coming in to heat. Consider havi ng g her examined by your veterinarian. He or she can take a look deep into the ear to diagnose infection (bacterial, fungal or parasites). Her symptoms are very general in nature with multiple potential causes, so a physical exam may be necessary to reach a diagnosis.
