Why do rabbits get ear infectoin?

Usually if a rabbit has an ear infection, it has had some sort of cold. Unless you are talking about an infection from a scratch. They can scratch their ear and it can become (the scratch itself) infected, treatment would include some sort of antibiotic ointment for the scratch. Treatment for the ear infection caused by a cold would include antibiotic shots and ear drops.

Can erythromycin ointment be used for a stye?

A stye is a blocked hair follicle and not an infection. Erythromycin in an antibiotic ointment used for an infection, so it would not be helpful in this case. A warm compress will help. Wet a washcloth with warm water and place it over the closed eye for a little bit and it should help.
