He's still holding his head cocked to the right and just not himself--not playing, cranky, clingy and lethargic. So he's starting an oral anti-biotic on top of the ear drop ones and an anti-inflammatory too. That should make him feel better very quickly. If he's not dramatically better by Monday, he supposed to go back to the clinic.
Awww, Muskwa, sweetheart. This is a bummer for me to read. The doc thought you had quite the infection when she first saw you. Too bad the ear drops didn't do a better job. Your mom will be giving you some medicine by mouth now. I hope it'll work super fast and you feel much better in a few days. More hugs for you from me ... hughughughughughughug.
