Hello everyone :) My chin Loki is a six year old female. (Yes, I know her name is Loki. I thought she was a boy until recently and had to separate her from her brother Thor. :facepalm: )
ANYWAY, just over the last few days I've noticed a little patch of red on the backs of her ears, near the base. They are both in identical spots and in rectangle-like shapes which is leading me to believe that she has been scratching with her hind legs way too much. (Unless anyone can think of another possibility)
Should I put some essential oils on it? Baby oil? Her ears are normally dry anyways so I was thinking it might help

I will try attaching some pictures.
