Your pet has ear mites. This is what you should do. Clean the ears with hydrogen peroxide (if it bubbles when you put it in, then it is fresh...no bubbles...buy a new bottle)...dry ears thoroughly. Use warm baby oild, olive oil or mineral oil and fill the ear canals (one at a time) ...hold dog's head steady so the oil stays in for several minutes, then tip the head, drain oil and gentle pat the ear free of excess oil. Ear mites breathe through spiracles along their sides and the oil drowns the mites. Do both ears. You may repeat as often as needed as the treatment is gentle. It is best to have someone help you and if possible do it outdoors...after treatment the dog will shakes its head and you'll have oil spots everywhere. The are commercial ear-mite remedies that are very effective but not cheap.. The blood comes from the dog scratching its ears and the peroxide will remove the scabs, clean the wound and remove ear wax too. In the ear, hydrogen peroxide produces a bubbling sound so be prepared for the dog to squirm.

You need to take her back to the vet. It sounds like possibly ear mites. If you had taken her to the vet before he should have swabbed the ear and looked under the microscope for mites. If you are treating your dog with an over the counter medication you could be doing more harm then good. As for finding the tick in her bed and eggs on her back you need to get her to a vet immediately.

Has your dog been to the vet? Are the drops you have been using from the vet or are they "over the counter"?
Ear infections are very painful to the dog and can become serious if left untreated. Only your vet is going to be able to tell you what is causing the problem.
Your dog may have ear mites or it may be something else, please take the dog to your vet asap. Hope things work out ok, good luck.

dogs with "floppy" ears are very prone to ear infections
could be ear mites or something more serious
2 weeks is an long rime for such a problem
the blood could be the result of irritation from scratching but you didn't say if you originally took her to the vet to get a rx. or got it at a pet supplier
get her to the vet even if you brought her originally
she can't help herself or ask you to take her
would you let your ears stay in this condition for 2 weeks

Yes Poodles are one kind of dog. You will have to keep the hair in the ears trimed. or plucked . They do get infections easy. Keep there ears dry & clean . & make sure the mites are gone.
