My rabbit's ears seem dirty. What's the best and safest way to clean them?

Hi, good for you for noticing the problem. You can flush out the bunny's ear safely by using a saline solution, like eye wash. Squirt a few drops into his ear and massage the base of it, then let him shake his head to remove debris.Them once it it moist, carefully use Q tips to remove any stuck debris. Be careful not to push any back into the ear canal. You may need to flush it a few times to get it all out. Some bunnies need to have their ears cleaned regularly. If you notice any smell, redness or pus like discharge, take him to a vet. Good luck, I hope this helps!

It should be fine. You can moisten a cotton ball and dab the ear tip then monitor for any reaction. If you see none, gently clean the ears. Nolvasan Otic and EpiOtic are also acceptable ear cleaners. Use only cotton balls, not cotton swabs to clean just what you can see and reach with a finger.

Rabbits are unable to sweat the way humans do. They use their ears in temperature regulation. When the rabbit is warm, large blood vessels in the ears dilate. As air moves across the ear, it cools the blood. This cooler blood is then transported to the body. So misting or wiping a damp cloth over the ears will help cool Hestia down. You can also provide ice cubes in her water. I hope this helps!

You can use a "dry bath". Get some cornstarch for infants from the market or pharmacy. Sprinkle it on him and gently rub him down. Use a fine toothed comb to brush out the excess. To clean his feet, use plain unscented baby wipes, pet wipes or a bit of white vinegar on a wash cloth. Scrub gently to remove dirt and odors.

This is probably a severe case of ear mites. These are a small biting parasite that can be very aggressive in rabbits. It looks like your Jr your rabbit is going to need to have this ear professionally treated by your veterinarian. This can require some sedation to clean the ear because they are usually very uncomfortable. Your vet will then probably give an injection of a medication that kills mites. This injection is usually repeated every 10-14 days until the mites have all died. You will need to take Baby to your veterinarian as soon as you can.

Take the mats between your fingers and carefully and gently pull them apart. Then take a comb and gently comb them out. If that does not work you can cut them off with scissors (make sure you do not cut into the skin, it suffices to cut about 1/8th inch above the skin). Regularly brush or comb your rabbit to keep new mats from forming. Make sure you have someone hold your rabbit comfortably when you try to cut the mats

Ouch, poor Bambi! Gently clean the wound with warm water and antiseptic soap. Keep your dog away from her, and have her rest quietly so the wound can heal. Monitor it, and if it becomes red, swollen, warm to the touch, or you see pus, then it's infected and she should see a vet right away for antibiotics. I hope this helps!
