    Hair on ears disappearing...

    Over the last week, Sasha's (German Shepherd) fur on her ears is starting to get thin, and there are some spots where there is no hair. Mainly on the very tips of her ears.
     
    We don't have fleas, Advantage takes care of that. I was thinking maybe mange? We've had her for almost two months, and they're just starting to lose hair. Nowhere else on her body. Her trainer is the one that mentioned mange, I didn't even think of it, as I thought it spread throughout their body.
     
    Her next vet visit is scheduled for Monday (Rabies, x-rays, and checkup) . I guess I was just hoping there's a way I can stop what's happening, and not wait too long for it to get bad. Her ears are too cute to not have fur.

    Callie says (Confucious say....) tips of ears is usually ringworm.

    I certainly hope, for your sake, that it's not!

    It's not ringworm. Good thing. And it's not mange. The vet was guessing some fly bites or minor irritation. Just a quick update.
