Answer
Kelli,

The best thing I know is to go to the vet because over the counter products do not always work. You can look for the stuff over the counter in the pet isle, or in a pet store, that treats ears. If you want to try it.
It more or less delays the treatment given by a vet.

Here is a web page for a reference for you.
