I got a little curious one night and got a needle and let it soak in boiling water for half an hour and then I very gently poked it into that thing on his ear and it started bleeding, but stopped as soon I applied a little pressure. I think it's a blood blister or something. I'm making him an appointment next week to see his vet. I'd love to get a second opinion except the vet office that i go to only has one vet and the other 2 vet offices in town are currently not accepting new patients.

This seems to always be the first question I ask but, what does he eat? I wouldn't rule out an allergy. Especially with the frequent ear infections.
I might also get a second opinion.

He's eating the fish formula by eagle pack foods and he loves it. I don't think it's an allergy, unless it's some new reaction that just won't go away. He's allergic to chicken and beef and he's only had 3 ear infections since I've had him, and the 3rd one was like a year ago.
