Here is what I found doing a general search. Sounds like it might be your problem.
7) Ear Mites
Ear mites are quite common in kids if the adults are infected. When they scratch their ears and shake their heads at an early age, they should be examined and treated with a miticide. The infected ears often show a scaly, grayish material in the ear canal. The mites can be seen easily when the material is examined with a magnifying glass on a piece of black cloth.
Good luck!

Hey Jay Don- Ivomec works on ear mites. If you can't run them thru the shoot or catch them right now:
- You could try the injectable on their feed or in their water (my bottle babies drink it with no issues whatsoever)
- You could try to hit them with a blow dart of injectable
- You could try the poor-on with a good spray applicator and try to get it on their backs
For pwatson- I would get a miticide from your vet since it sounds like you can handle your doe and do the recommended treatment on the label.
