The best solution would be to take the rabbit to a rabbit-savvy veterinarian as soon as possible. Ear infections can be very painful, sometimes fatal and should always be seen by a rabbit professional.

Web-based information can be found at: http://homepage.mac.com/mattocks/morfz/rabrefs.html. Select "Ear Problems" from the pulldown menu.

Getting medical advice from a farm or pet store is never a good idea! Please never give your companion rabbit any medication that is not given to it by a veterinarian.

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.


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.
