Ear scratching

Aliandbuns · Mar 22, 2006

Molly has scratched all the fur off the back of one of her ears. At first I thought Piper might have done it, then I saw her scratching it.

I had a close look at it and she has a little patch of dry skin, so I rubbed some tea tree/aloe ointment on it which she seemed to quite like. 8) I have checked inside both her ears and they look fine, it just seems to be a small patch of itchy skin.

It has been like this for a few days now with no sign of it getting any better or worse.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

I don't know what this is but might there be a clue in this.....

Candy had her vhd inj and the site became very red and inflamed and she scratched and scratched at it until it bled (over abt 24hrs) when I took her back to the vet he recommended that I use a cream that I already use on my daughters eczema only available on perscription. Have to say it did the trick, within sa few mins she had stopped scratching (the same way amy dose with her eczema) and it cleared up within a few days.

Can bunnys get eczema ?? or would it just be the same treatment for any skin irritation.

I have to say that it is a steroid cream and I wouldn't use it again without the vets say so.

As they say, if in doubt, give the vet a call.
