Missing hair spots on her ear - what could they be?

[msvette2u]

Our vet looked at the scrapings under a microscope while we were there, and from what I understand, should have shown the mange mites, which she said she doesn't have.

Sarcoptic isn't' always found on scrapes.

I could do so tonight, though her coat's perfectly fine everywhere else. I practically went over every inch of her with my bare hands when washing her last week (not gloved, so I could feel every little thing), except for her stomach. It's literally the 3 areas I've described, so very localized. What would you like to see?

That's what the vet suspects / hopes. She used a black light in her office, but it didn't show anything, though it's not totally conclusive, which is why we've sent off for cultures to develop.

But I hear that it's very itchy, and she hardly itches herself, except on the head (the little blood clots) when she was doing a few times an hour (before I got the cone on her). Every time the little things on her head would heal and scab over, she'd scratch them off again, hence the cone.

When you scratch her ears (the edges) does her hind leg try to scratch?

No... I read about that tip in the Wiki article. The lab did a cytosis(?) test already with the scrapings, and the results came back with nothing. But I'd hope if a simple case of mange was what is going on, they should have figured it out by now.
