My rabbit is a female, almost one year old. In this small town I don’t know how it got something like dandruff on its ears; the area around the ears is hard and it scratched it open, with dandruff around the breaks, both ears like this. I don’t know if it’s ear mites or ringworm.
Rabbits scratch ears from earwax, itch, or ear mite infection, especially if ears are not cleaned. Poor cage hygiene also triggers scratching. Ear mites show brown discharge and strong itch with head shaking. Confirm the cause and treat.
What medicine is best for a dog’s inflamed ear?
The right ear medicine depends on the pathogen. Bacterial infection alone: anti-inflammatory ear drops (e.g., EarClean, Epi-Otic alternatives, EarCare). Fungal (often Malassezia) causing odor: use a gentle ear cleanser (e.g., Epi-Otic, boric acid drops) to flush debris (no cotton swabs; use cotton/gauze), then antifungal drops (e.g., Aurizon); often secondary bacteria—combine with EarClean. If unsure, get otoscopy at a vet. Keep the collar on during treatment; feed light, hypoallergenic food to reduce oil buildup.
