    It could be mites or an infection.

    Time for a vet visit to determine the cause and get prescription ear drops for him.
    With ear drops it should clear up within a few days.

    I agree. I'd bet on mites, which is actually fairly common in doxies. Both of mine have had it and my mom's had it. Is there's a lot of brown discharge or a bad smell coming from his ears? You can buy over the counter eardrops for it, but you'll want to get it diagnosed first.
