If this is related to an ear infection, then yes, treatments can help. If this is related to Mitchell's age, then unfortunately, there is not treatment available. If you are unsure if there is an infection, I recommend to have him examined by the veterinarian. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
