Poor gizmo. The best thing you can do is to buy a dog ear cleaner and try to clean it every day to see if it improves. You can also give Benadryl twice a day to help with itching. If it isn’t improving, I would see if you have a shelter in your area that may help be able to help treat her if this doesn’t work. I hope this helps. https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/
