I think it is infected and have treated with ear infection rinse. but only helps temporarily. Now seems to lose his balance occasionally. how do i proceed?

It sounds like the infection may have encroached into the middle ear. For an ear infection of this severity both oral and topical antibiotics are required. Sedation with a thorough ear flush initially may be necessary. A culture and sensitivity of the infection will help to determine the appropriate antibiotic is being used. Please see your regular veterinarian as soon as possible to get started on this treatment.
