matt schmidt Webboard User Reg: 01-10-2005 Posts: 214 Loc: Los Angeles Offline	Finally got the dog into the Vet today. She felt it could only be one of 2 things: scabies (mange) or ringworm which causes a fungus on the skin - but not usually on the ears. They did some tests and won't know for a week or two. I'll update then.

Often, the vet will elect to treat for it if it's NOT something else, and that's what I just did with a foster. Thanks for posting back.
