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.

New Kit
hi 3 days ago I recognized these thick skin and a little bit blood on her fingers then I saw some on her ears like thickness please help me here
I took her to vet and he injected her once and said it has to be repeated 2 times each week and he advised some creams for itchiness and vitamin A.D in lotion and crotamiton 10% and also clotrimazole betametasone is it really safe to rub them on her skin and fingers ??? Because she is licking her fingers and ears im so worried.
 
I'm sorry to hear of your health concerns regarding your bunny. Did you get a diagnosis - mange or ear mites perhaps? I'm afraid I don't know anything of the medicines prescribed but hopefully one of our members knowledgeable about health will be along soon . I hope you have success posting photos

It sounds as though the Vet suspects the problem may be a fungal infection

or Scabies /Mange

Clotrimazole is an anti fungal treatment

Betamethasone is steroid and has strong anti inflammatory properties. It should only be used short term

Crotamiton is used to relieve itching

I would not want Bunny to ingest any of these medications
