blood in rabbit's ears

mbcagle · #1 04/02/12, 01:04 PM

My two female rabbits who have been housed together for the last month while I have slowly built them new cages have some dried blood in their ears. What could this be? There is no sign of them fighting. They both seem healthy. Any ideas?

Ear mites.

Put some olive oil in their ears once a day for three days. Wait 10 days and do it again.

Thanks so much!

Yea, just a couple of drops, rub the outside of the ear base a bit. They'll shake their heads a bit. Just remember to go back in ten days and do it again.

I use 1% ivermectin. One drop in each ear. This will also worm them for internal parasites. Do as-needed.
