I was checking Damita over this afternoon. I noticed that she is missing hair on the "top" of her ear on one eare. She has several scabs there & where I scabs would appear if she was scratching at her ears. There is some dark "gunk" in her ears, too. I am thinking this is either an ear infection or ear mites. What do ear mites look like(what should I look for)? Damita got treated for ear mites(an injection that lasts 3 weeks) when she got spayed(early Feb.). I am not too concerned about this spreading as she has to be in a cage until her after 4/21 when she gets her 2nd dose to kill the roundworms. I checked Chico's ears & they seem to be fine.
I will talk to someone at the HS, but I won't get a chance to until Tuesday night. In the meantime, should I clean out her ears with a Q-Tip? How can I do that safely?
