Question
WHAT DOES THE EAR LOOK LIKE INSIDE WHEN YOUR DOG HAS EAR MITES

Answer
Dogs with ear mites can present in different ways.  If there are only a few mites, the dog's ears may look normal, unless he is scratching them, making them red.  If there are many ear mites, then there may be a discharge coming out of the ear.  Ask your vet to look in the ears to see the mites.   They are small white bugs that crawl insode the ear canal.  With an otoscope they can be seen.
