Luckily, I'm taking Belle to the vet on Tuesday for her first appointment/checkup so I will ask them about this then, but I thought I'd ask on here.
About a week ago I noticed a few very small bumps on the back of Belle's ears, which upon closer inspection, appeared to be scabs. I just assumed that maybe she had been itching her ears and her nails scratched them a little. Yesterday I noticed that the scabs had fallen off because there were a couple, tiny little dots of no fur where the scabs had been with healthy skin. Fine. THEN I looked closer at her ears and realized that on the very tip of her ear was a little bump. It's just the size of a pinhead, but it's a bump with no fur and a tiny dot on the middle. The other ear has the same thing on the tip.
I tried searching on the Internet about it, but all I get are ear mites and scary skin cancer stuff. She's not a white cat, and she's only 2 years old, so I'm ruling out cancer at this point. She was treated for mites (at least that's what they said) at the shelter before I got her, along with getting flea meds, so I'm kinda baffled about this... any ideas?
