What do people use for mites? My billy had mites before I had him. The inside of his one ear looks a bit sore.

I would try the vet for this, as these may need a specific injection.

I think you do get different kinds of mites so it might be best to check with the vet. I would use some spot on anyway as a preventative as well. It usually gets most bugs and creepy crawlies.
