Thread: Itchy, stinky ears?

Merlin has been rubbing and digging his left ear so much he's wearing off the fur! He was just at the vet a few weeks ago and the vet said his ears looked good, and I looked today and I didn't see dirt or other evidence of ear mites. But he is terribly itchy and his ear really stinks! Should I give him ear mite meds or is this something else??
