The picture's not visible.

But you can't see mites. They're microscopic, and burrow under the skin.

Black dots may be flea dirt. Put some on a paper towel and put a tiny drop of water on them. If the damp towel turns red (from blood), that's what it is.

Here's some info on parasites. Maybe you can find it there: https://www.guinealynx.info/parasites.html

The picture showed up for me. The fur is white and the dots are dark, but they almost look like lice nits to me.
