Black dot behind the ear

[lj]

I noticed that Minky has a black dot on the back of his ear. You can't see it from the front, only from behind. It looks like a blood blister. It's very dark.

Any thoughts?

Jani, my hairless, has the same thing but hers I can see from the front and not from the back. It doesn't seem to bother her.

That is exactly what it is. It doesn't seem to bother him. I was just wondering if I should get it removed or not.

I haven't taken her to the vet yet, I've had too many rats "using" my money but if it gets bigger I will. Let me know what you decide? I personally didn't think it was serious.

I've checked Jani's dot and it doesn't seem to hurt her and it seems to stay on just the one side of the ear like it doesn't go through the ear. I would simply keep an eye on it.
