Ok, well the vet plucked some of Eevee's ear fur off and looked at the hair and skin under the microscope, and he said there are no mites, so it's not mange (whew!). He also created a culture for a fungal test - he says it will test for ringworm, and the results won't show up for at least a week, so he'll call me with the results. He says another thing it could be is some hormonal change that happens to some dogs, and if it is, there's no treatment for it, it will get worse, but then it WILL clear up on its own, but it could take weeks to months. I forget what it's called as it had a very complicated name so I'll have to look it up.
I also mentioned that she goes to work with me and that she's exposed to cleaning chemicals there because the people from the other camp have got us all screwed up, and he says that if she doesn't have ringworm or this other thing, then that could be a possible cause, so he wants me to look up our chemicals online and send him the ingredients.
He says that it won't hurt anything to wash her ears more often than the rest of her right now and rinse, rinse, rinse.
So that's all for now until we get the results back from that one test... *sigh* He says she looks really healthy otherwise and that he loves how slim and fit I'm keeping her. *gleam*
