    Hi Joddi,
    You will need to get him checked by a vet to determine whether it really is mites and get the appropriate medication.

    There isn't really much you can do for mites at home.

    Are they in his ears or on his body?
    Demadectic and Sarcoptic mange is when the dog loses hair on either its head or entire body. Dermadectic can be cured whereas Sarcoptic requires ongoing treatment.

    If it's just the ears then it's a simple case of getting some ear drops and applying them as directed by your vet.
