Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

i noticed a few days ago that dillion had a scab in one of his ears i decided not to phone vet straight away but just keep an eye on it only in a few days it's got worse it seems to be spreading and it's became all red
i'm going to phone vet first thing tomorrow will that be early enough?
or should i phone tonight??
i'm at a complete loss and i'm so worried he's eating and drinking fine
it's just his ear

thanks
leonna
 
If he's eating/drinking/pooping/acting normally the tommorow should be fine. It sounds like ear mites, the vet will probably give you drops or cream and that sound clear it up quickly :)
 
hi.if you think he seems ok in himself i would make an appointment for him first thing tomorrow.is he scratching at his ear?it could be mites,dudley gets them quite badly.if it is mites they are not pleasant for them but should be easily cleared with ivermectin(prescribed)i hope every thing is ok. :D
