| Hope you all can HELP !!!!!!! I was wondering if anyone ever had a yorkie whos ears turned black on the edges???? I thought it was just her and I loved the look. She has had it for months. She is now 9 months old and within the last week this black has started breaking off & she is loosing her ear hair. Does anyone know what this is or has anyone seen this?????? She does not itch her ears alot, nor her body. Her ears look clean, I never notice any mite dirt............Help Notice the rims of her ears...... |

| Are there any crusty areas on the edges of the ears or is it just the dark hair coming out? Is it being replaced with new hair or does it feel any different than before? Maybe she should see the vet for a skin scraping to make sure there aren't any underlying health issues. |

| That was my first thought as well. I have no clue how it's treated, though. Google and vet!

| Try this site scroll down a ways until you see winter ear. http://www.shooterdog.com/alexfaq3.htm You can also use the lortimin antifungal (for athlete's foot). Is the nose affected also?
