Donating YT 2000 Club Member | Losing Hair on Ears A friend called-her 2 yorkies are going bald on their ears. Went to the vet-no mange & did a skin scraping-both are on the same food-not from same breeder & are healthy....Any ideas?

| If they both have it, clear skin scraping or not, I'd suspect some type of mite or the like. Are their ears crusty?

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | It could be ringworm also; they'd need to do a fungal culture and grow it out for 10-14 days for results. You may not see a "ring" at all in dogs, btw.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | That was going to be my guess too, especially if it's mostly around the edges of the ears.
