In humans anyway, when an eardrum is injured (not even burst, but just injured), there is almost always some blood. And the pain caused by injuries to the eardrum is excruciating - it can bring you right to your knees. Is she showing signs of pain? From your description, she sounds good...other than the irritation.
I wonder if you used cotton balls to try and soak up some of the moisture currently in her ear, if that would help after a while? I know she doesn't want you near her ears, but it may help.
As for the best way to rinse, I'm not sure there of the best way - so hopefully someone will chime in who has had ongoing experience with ear rinsing/cleansing.
