Is this what ear mites look like?

What are ear mite symptoms?

As you can see she has LOTS of dead skin in her ears.

Ear mites?

I cleaned her ears a week before I took this pic.
 
Is she scratching at her ears? Every animal I've ever known with ear mites has scratched like crazy.

She looks like she might be a teddy, and they tend to have stiffer, drier hair. Maybe it's just dead skin in her ears.
 
No, she does not scratch at her ears. Juniper is a Rex :)

Good news for me and her :D

OMG can guinea pigs get earmites? our cats had them when we first rescued them from their previous neglectful abuseful home and the only thing that got rid of them was 3-4 administrations of advocate spot on. How would you treat it on Guinea pigs? also I do not think the guinea pig pictured has ear mites our cats got all this black gunk in their ears when they had ear mites............
 
Both Revolution and Ivermectin kill ear mites.
 
Oh thats good to know, thanks foggycreekcavy.
