  Hi everyone,
  
  Bun Jovi seems like he usually has a small patch of dry skin on the back of his ear which I’ve been keeping an eye on.
  
  It seems like it is a bit more crusty than normal. What do ya’ll think? Maybe fur mites? Or just old grandpa dry skin?
  
  It doesn’t seem itchy at all. The second two pictures are with flash, which makes it look a bit more yellow than without the flash.

  It’s not ringworm, is it?

  That was also a thought… apparently there is a bit of an outbreak going on in SB. Going to try to look at it with a blacklight… supposedly if it fluoresces that way it’s ringworm.

  Good idea! It’s probably best to eliminate it as a possibility at least.
