I recommend to call your vet again. When pets begin to have chronic itching, things like allergies are suspected. The vet will need to check again to make sure there is not infection. Be sure the doctor checks for bacterial or yeast infections as well. You may also also the vet about getting a special ear cleaner that will help avoid itchiness. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
