Have you taken her to the vet to have the shit vacuumed out?  She could have an inner ear infection and it could be a perforation in her eardrum allowing her ears to release the puss.

Try a different vet, they should take a sample and do a smear/bacterial culture to see what's up if it's not going away.

definitely talk to a new vet, I used to deal with one a few miles away
because they were convenient and had always treated me well for a vet,
after a few years the place shut down, a new vet moved in a few months
later, I went to them for a few things and then the stories started
coming, one lady was told to give her dog aspirin or tylenol for
inflamation and the tylenol killed the dog, I tok one of mine in to have
a leg checked out and they demanded $600 up front to even look at the dog

I never went back, the new vet I use never asks for anything up front,
they hook me up with meds when ever they can and the preform services
like grooming at no charge for veterinary customers and they're also a
lot cheaper than any other vet I've found

Get a new vet. Had a dog with a similar situation. Turned out the dog got a "foxtail" grass seed in the ear. They are barbed so it was working its way in and got infected. Vet was able to go in and get it out, and then the antibiotics worked.

Our rescued pit bull (small red-nosed) has had the same problem for a couple years now and we can't seem to solve it. Remedies we have tried include yoghurt, vinegar drops in the ears, we even put her on a super strict diet for  several months (nothing but potatoes and rabbits was in this dog food, and no table scraps). Nothing has seemed to work. She is constantly scratching at her ears and we have to watch her to make sure she doesn't hurt herself. Also she's got really sensitive skin and scratches everywhere. I have the sneaking suspicion that she's allergic to cats (we have three) although I've never heard of that. It breaks my heart to hear her suffer, but we don't know what to do. Also my roommate worked at an animal shelter for the last couple years so she got the advice of several different vets to no avail (at one point a kangaroo-only diet was mentioned, but not tried). Anyway, good luck and I hope it turns out better for you. I do love my pits!

I do remember reading about Tobacco smoke blown into the ear, for treatment of ear infection. But that may be an old folk remedy. Not sure if there is any science in it.

My parents had a shih tzu that got this problem all the time if he wasn't bathed frequently enough. If you're persistent with the antibiotic and keep her bathed frequently it should go away and not come back.

thanx for all the info...i should mention it is a brown gunk that doesnt seem to ever drain..it stinks and my other dog likes to lick at it but i try to prevent that as much as possible...nothing has worked not vinegar not alcohol and i tried a bong hit but that seemed to make me forget what the hell i was even doing in the first place..but seriously i feel so bad for her i just wish there was something i could do... i should also mention she just lost one of her hind legs last year to a blue f150 that i tried to chase but could not catch up with them. so i just hate seeing her in pain like this...

Take her to the vet before she loses her hearing.

she does seem to have a little trouble hearing....i have heard tho that pitbulls tend to have ear problems, can anyone vouch for that? could it be that its just a genetic thing.

My best friend's dog had mites at one point, he was quick on getting rid of them though.  She's half pit half dalmatian.
