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.

Will Wesson Corn Oil eliminate of ear mites in cats?

Ear mites in cats cause extreme discomfort, and can lead to much more serious conditions if left untreated. Mites should be treated with a product made specifically for that purpose. Most miticides are formulated in one of two ways: a bit more dilute solution which is instilled in the ears every day for about 10 days, or a stronger solution that is used every 2 days for about a week (about 3 treatments). Treatment is geared to the reproductive cycle of the mites, so as to catch those that hatch between treatments. Your vet can recommend one. Using vegetable oils might drown a few mites, but won't get rid of them, and could put the cat's health at risk. The oil belongs in a salad dressing, not in the delicate workings of a cat's ear :o)
