My rabbit scratches its ears constantly. Could it be ear mites?

[]

Answer

Constant ear scratching in rabbits is a common sign of ear mites, but it could also be due to allergies, fungal infections, or foreign bodies. You might see a crusty discharge or scabs inside the ears. It's important not to try to clean it aggressively yourself, as you could cause more irritation. A veterinarian will need to examine a sample under a microscope to confirm the diagnosis and prescribe appropriate treatment. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
