Hair loss can occur on the ear margins from a number of conditions, including fungal infections, mange, vasculitis, seborrhea, among others. The best thing you can do is to take Boomer to his vet for evaluation and some diagnostic testing to get to the bottom of this issue so that the best course of treatment can be started. I hope that all goes well!
