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 and really offers good advice. And they 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 agree that you may want to consider taking your furbaby to the vet. These infections can become very nasty.
