At first a small bump at the ear base, I applied iodine, the rabbit kept scratching it, broke the skin, then scabbed; later a lot of fur fell off there, gave balance powder for days with no regrowth, looked dry but no dandruff; a few days ago found dandruff on the neck, after using a skin tonic the bald ear spot started getting dandruff too, worse than the photo. (Green circle is the neck dandruff spot.)

Hello, from the photo you uploaded, the rabbit's symptoms are very likely caused by a fungal infection. For this situation, shave the fur at the affected area clean, then clean and disinfect the site with iodine; after cleaning, use an antifungal medication such as bifonazole or ketoconazole cream. If the symptoms are severe, the rabbit may also need oral medication. During treatment, put a (homemade) Elizabethan collar on the rabbit to stop it from scratching the area and worsening the infection.

My hamster has a large yellow bump on its belly.

Based on the photo, this yellow lump is likely a pocket of fat exposed after the skin was damaged, with subcutaneous fat protruding. If not treated promptly, internal organs could be exposed, so make a collar to stop licking and see a vet for cleaning and sutures.

Swollen, red, discharging hamster eyes may be from heat or conjunctivitis. First clean with saline and keep the diet light with more water; if no relief, try levofloxacin or neomycin eye drops. Also fit a homemade collar to stop scratching.

Stuffy nose with poor appetite and eye discharge suggests a respiratory infection with eye inflammation. Keep warm, avoid high-calorie food, give small-pet anti-inflammatory and banlangen, clean eyes, and use a collar if it scratches.

The principle is eat less, move more: gradually cut daily food by age/weight, feed small frequent meals to avoid hunger, and consider low-calorie food if severely overweight. Walk, run, swim, or play fetch to burn fat.
