Ear Mites
What is it?
From Dana Krempels
http://www.bio.miami.edu/hare/furloss.html
Symptoms of Fur mites are more subtle than those of mange or ear canker, and these mites usually do not cause as much itching as other types of mites. Fur mite infestations usually manifest as flakes in the skin that look like dandruff. In more advanced cases, the fur may actually start to fall out, leaving tufty or bald patches. Unfortunately, some types of fur mites are not easily found on skin scraping or visual inspection. But treatment with the proper medication (selamectin) will often clear up this problem, even if mites cannot be visualized.
