Yes Lut this would be from Ear Scratching.. Check Snoopy's Ears for dirt or mites.. I will use a small flashlight to look in my babies ears.. Then I have Cat Medicated Ear Qtips I use.. It cleans out the dirt & has aleo for soothing of the ear.. You can get the Cat Qtips at Walmart or a Pet Store.. Also to put on the babies outside of ear where hair is gone = use Cat Hydro Spray or vasilene..
