Ear Mites in Dogs: What Pet Parents Need To Know
3. Secondary symptoms of ear mites in dogs
Since ear mites only feed on the wax and oils in the ear instead of biting the skin, they don't directly cause many symptoms other than itchiness and scratching. However, that degree of scratching often results in wounds and small abrasions to the ear, usually to the base. It can also cause bleeding inside the ear, so you may notice a dark, reddish-brown discharge from the ear.
