3335. Email Query from a dog owner. Two shiny brown spots are not mites

7.1.18

Dear Dr Sing,

BB has been in severe itching, especially at night, where he will scratch his left ear frequently and intensely.

Upon closer inspection, I realised there were two tiny 0.5mm brown spots located in his ears. They look like mites but I am unsure as they do not move.

I have attached a photograph of his ear here; you can see a brown, shiny spot at the bottom. Please advise on my next steps if possible.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

R
