My rabbit has an open wound how do i prevent an infection?
If your rabbit has an open wound, you must bring the rabbit to a vet for treatment. There is nothing you can do at home to prevent infection. Rabbits have very stretchy skin, and the wound will only get bigger and worse if you don't go to the vet's. If you can, before you leave for the vet's, do this first aid: Clean the wound: flush with watered-down liquid Betadine (povidone-iodine, watered down to an ice tea colour), and then flush again with water. Cover the wound with a non-stick bandage pad, and then secure it with self-adhesive bandage wrap. (But don't touch the open skin to the bandage wrap, because it will stick.) Then go to the vet's. See the related questions below for more details.

Why is your rabbits ear loppy and red?
One of two reasons, either the rabbit has injured its ear and has an infection or your rabbit has ear mites which also cause an infection. If it is ear mites you can get rid of them by mixing iodine (a few drops) in baby oil and coating the ear with it. When you get rid of the ear mites (by smothering them with the oil every 2 days) you will need to treat with oil again in 10 days to smother the babies that hatch out of the eggs laid under the skin of the ear (which is what causes the infection). If the infection is really bad your rabbit may need antibiotics which it may need if it has an infection for a wound to it's ear.
