Accepted Answer

You should remove any dirt or debris from the ear as gently as possible and use an approved ear mite medication and not tea tree oil as rabbits are sensitive to it. I cannot confirm that what you’re seeing are ear mites so you should have the diagnosis confirmed by your Veterinarian to be on the safe side. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM
