a dog has 3 parts to the ear the outer middle and inner, an infection can spread in to each part, if it gets to the inner ear the drum can burst and the infection can get in to the brain so vets are a bit careful about useing drops as they cant see the eardrum.
annie went blind in one eye cos there is a nerve that comes from the ear along the side of the face and up to the eye and the infection can travel along it.
if the infection is just in the outer ear or middle ear the pills she is on will work but if its gone into the inner it can go in to the bone so she will need antibotics that can go in to the bone.
an xray can sometimes show an infection.
as your little one hasnt got any other symptoms she will prob be fine on the antibotics but make sure she is on them long enough.
hope she gets better real soon.
