Scabs on ears

I think in dogs there is some sort of mite that works on the edges of ears. I also seem to remember Pinta saying something about poor blood circulation and the edges of the ears darkening as an indicator of potential heart problems. I am almost beginning to feel ashamed of always recommending ivermectin. But if it is any type of parasite, it would help. Can´t remember offhand what you could use on the injury -- perhaps Neosporin. Watch for infection. The vet might have some other ideas.

When I had one of my pigs in a carrier cage, she somehow ripped one of her ears. The scab seemed to grow every day, to get huge. It looked terrible, but I could tell there was no infection, and I refrained from pulling it off. It finally fell off on it´s own, with a little piece of her ear, but had healed very nicely.
