Yorkies are prone to Sarcoptic mites and they are usually found on the ears. |
Your eyes are better than mine. I thought it sounded like mange and the itching with hair loss on the ears like that sure brought it to mind, but I could not see a thing in the hair or on the skin. Glad you were able to spot the telltale signs.
