Poor guy. It sounds like Lucky has an ear infection ad possible ear mites. I would have your vet do an ear cytology (test) on him to determine what kind of infection is present so that the correct medication can be prescribed. Alternatively, you can purchase pet ear mite medication from your local pet store first to see if this resolves the problem. I hope that Lucky's ear infection resolves soon! Best wishes and take care. : )
