It's one of a few things actually, I have a Egyptian Pharaoh Hound that constantly is messing with her one ear. Here's a few things to check out and/or try..... First, if you know how to check for ear mites you should do that, it will look like little pieces of dirt down in the ear, if you don't see that then maybe it's just the hair in the ear bothering the dog in which case, like I was told by my vet, you should not cut the hair in the ear to shorten it but it needs to be pulled, I know it sounds painful and I can't bring myself to do it either so I took her to the vet and had it done. The other thing is maybe the ear is infected and for that if you don't have the money to go and see the vet, you can go to the store and pick up some Greek Yogurt and give her a tablespoon a day, I started doing that and my dog stopped messing with her ear, now I also did give her some ear drops as well to clear the infection up and they seemed to work really well, the name of what I gave her is "K-9 Liquid Health" I can tell you from personal experience that this stuff works wonders!

What happens when a water bump on a dogs ear?
I am assuming that you are talking about a Hematoma which is a build up of blood just below the skin on the outside of the dog's ear flap. This is usually caused by a trauma to the ear flap, such as shaking their head and hitting it on something. The only way this can be treated is to take your Dog in to be checked by your Veterinarian. He will sedate the dog and make several incisions to the ear flap in order to drain out the blood, then suture it back flat. This is a very simplified version.
