There's black nasty stinky stuff in her ear and I've been cleaning it with cotton balls and alcohol. Her groomer said its an ear infection. What kind of medication should i give her? Is it ok to continue cleaning it using cotton balls with alcohol everyday?

Hi,
If she does have an ear infection she will require antibiotics, alcohol alone is not enough and may actually make the suitation worse by irritating the ear lining, and causing more infection.
Also you need to check and make sure that the ear drum is still intact, before putting things down ears.
