I've seen bleeding from the ear in two cases here - one was caused by a
sebaceous tumor inside the ear....the vet ended up removing the lining of the
ear and sealing the ear shut as the tumor continued to recur..the second was
due to a yeast infection.

If it is a yeast infection, antibiotics will make it worse. I wonder did the
vet culture for that? Tresaderm is what we were prescribed and it did the
job. Poor Buster was very relieved after only the second day.
