i wouldn't put any more animax in. you should take him to the vet so he can do a swab of the ear. also don't clean it before you go. the medication and ear cleaner will ruin the sample the vet takes

I really think you should take her to the vet to be on the safe side. Ears, like eyes, are something I would not want to mess around with. Better safe than sorry.
Our Kellie knows - we trust her. And it is true thatthe can have an infection without the odor. Tink has those occassionally. With her I can tell because she starts scratching her throat area instead of her ear and she is anxious about everything. I also sugest you take your furbaby to the vet. These infections can become very nasty.
