You can clean her ears with peroxide ,then dry well.You may have to see a Vet for the ear infection meds,but you could try the Gentimicin 1/2 cc per 3 lbs, 2 x daily.Same as penicillin.

You really need to take your dog to the vets. Even though it's Thanksgiving the emergency vets should be open. Your dog is obviously suffering and in a lot of pain and no one on yahoo answers can diagnose your dogs ear infection and tell you that penicillin or any other anitbiotic will work, only a vet can do that after seeing your dogs ear.
Please don't wait any longer, please take your dog to the emergency vets today. Your dog will thank you for doing this.
Good luck & happy Thanksgiving.

This dog MUST be seen by a vet - there are different types of ear infections. The vet has to know what she has to be able to put her on the right medication. Ear infections are extremely painful - no delay is acceptable!

different types of infections are treated with diferent types of antibiodics. You need to see a vet for the correct type of medication. also some type of ear drops are need to be put inside the ear.
