Hi,

One of my wilds has what looks like ear mites in his right ear, the left ear looks fine.

Can anyone confirm? Possibly mange? He looks fine everwhere else.


Would treatment with Ivermectin be effective?

Thanks.

Ivermectin can treat Sarcoptic or Demodectic mange.
I really can't tell much from pictures but my guess would
be Demodectic since it appears localized.

Thanks Step! I'll treat him and see if I can help clear up that area!
