Poor Reggie! I hope his ears starts feeling better. You gave me quite a scare at first before you got to the part where Reggie had to be anestathied! I was like OH NO!

I clean Drake's ears every month when he gets his bath. I have this ear cleaning solution that I purchased from Petsmart. Perhaps you could try something like that to help prevent further problems?

You said there could have been a tick in his ear? Is Reggie on flea preventative? Frontline kills and repels both fleas and tics. Advantage only works on fleas, but they now have KillTics that comes with the flea preventative. It doesn't cost anything, it's part of the flea med.
