    Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. 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.

    Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

Ear scab

Sorry, this is one of those "do I need a vet trip?" posts, I'm a big ol' bunny hypochondriac!

Billy has a scab on his ear, it first appeared last week, but it was tiny and easy to ignore. I actually thought this might be a tick when I felt/saw it again last night, as it's been growing at that sort of rate, and has that sort of shape to it.

It's not a tick, but is it something he needs vet attention for?

I always think that any lump anywhere on the body that grows, changes shape or colour or starts to bleed needs a Vet check :)

Ok, I'll get something booked. I can get them to clip his nails for me while I'm there if nothing else :lol:
