Answer

You may find that Zymox will help with the ear infections. I've had very good luck with it using the one with hydrocortisone in it.

You may also want to check him for thyroid problems or allergies as either of those can trigger ear infections.
You can read about allergies here

It may be that swapping to a food like Wellness fish, rabbit, duck, or venison will help him or one such as Blue Buffalo or California Natural etc.
Hope this helps you!
