What are the small red circles inside my chihuahuas ears? They are flat, not crusty or anything like that. They don't really seem to bother him, he doesn't scratch them or anything.

Take him to the vet, right away. It sounds to me like either worms or, if he was bathed recently, soap bubbles that didn't get rinsed off and have dried. Chi's can get ear infections, since they have tiny little ear canals, so it is very important to make sure that water doesn't get into their ears. Your vet can teach you how to clean the ears.

My 1 yr old mini schnauzer has developed 1 nickle size red ring on his stomach. There is no hair loss, itching, or dried skin on the area. Aside from ringworm, what might this be?

I recently came back from a long weekend when we left our two dogs (a chi and Jack Russell) with a pet sitter. My chi's ears have been floppy since we came back and he seems a bit lethargic. His ears tips are also crusty (they weren't before). What can this be and should I be alarmed??
