One of Roxie's pups were found to have ear mites when he went for his vet check with his new owner. We checked Roxie and sure enought she had them as well. None of the other pups had them and Roxie never scratched at her ears. We treated everyone just to be on the safe side. The suspect, a black cat that roams had been seen in our backyard. The vet confirmed that was the likely culprit. We've never had ear mites since though I had a dog arrive from Kentucky with them once. I'm a reputable show breeder and my pup had just been to the vet for his 10 week shot 2 weeks before he went to his new home. Luckily once treated they clear up rather quickly.
