Rat Terriers are a hardy breed with relatively few known health problems. There is, however, a possiblity that your dog is suffering some sort of a chemical sensitivity or allergic reaction. you should consult with your veterinarian for a through exam. With proper medication and treatment, your dog should recover quickly.

The first thing you need to do is have your dog's ears thoroughly checked by a vet. He could have a very deep ear infection that has not been detected yet. If you have already tried treating him for an ear infection, you might need a different or stronger antibiotic.
