Excessive ear wax in Maltese terrier

[Littleluna]

Hello all, hoping someone has the answer! My little puppy is a Maltese Terrier and 12 weeks old, she's adorable but unfortunately  has excessive ear wax, she's been on antibiotics, the vet has cleaned them out and I've even kept on top of it all... Nothing is helping! Has anyone else experienced this?

Welcome .

Your  Maltese , if it is purebred, is not a terrier , just maltese ;) many people tack on 

terrier.....

Now, a few questions , so we know a bit more -
 So - since the vet has used drugs , I presume there is an infection ? 
By excessive ear wax do you mean there is discharge from her ears  which is not normal ..?

 

Was she  checked/treated for ear mites?

Does she scratch a lot? Does she chew at her feet  at all ? Does she have runny eyes ?
Does the ear discharge smell  different?
What is she being fed ?

have you spoken with the breeder?  they may be able to give you some  family history, and some advice . 
remember .. you can always go get a second Vet  opinion if the current vet  treatment doesn't appear to be working ...we can maybe share experiences  to help you & your little puppy
