Does anyone know the definite symptoms of ear mites? One of my fuzzies needs his ears cleaned almost daily. The ear wax is usually medium to dark reddish-brown in color. His wax have always been this way--he is only 6 months old. His ears also have a bad smell to them. What is the cure for ear mites if my little guy has them? I've also noticed that he's been scratching more lately, but I'm not sure if it's at his ears or just all over. [Posted in FML issue 2147]
