ahh this is awful. okay earlier i posted a question about my kitten and her ear mites, which we are in the process of treating. she is about 3 months old and today when i was petting her i felt hard bumps on her skin. they turned out to be scabs and dead skin. and they are only on her head and neck. and i noticed them on the back of her ears. i'm really worried and concerned that they might have something to do with the black ashyness on the tips of her ears. does anybody have any idea what this is, and if there is any over the counter medicine for it?
