My Joey, and Mittens before he crossed to the rainbow bridge, both have
bumps on their ears as well.  They are white, though, and look like a
whitehead, except that they are hard.  I tried to pop one once, but they
squirmed too much, so I just left them alone.  They don't seem to cause
pain and they have not grown bigger or changed color.  The vet said they
weren't anything to worry about, so I just left them.
