My Rabbit Keeps Scratching Her Ears With Her Back Leg And Shaking Her Head. However…

My rabbit keeps scratching her ears with her back leg and shaking her head. However, she doesn’t have scabs and her ear seems clean so it can’t be ear mites. What’s wrong with her?

    Hello,
    Every pet can have ectoparasites that cause itching. They can also have allergies, or even infection or disease. My point is hat there are a lot of pops left causes to an itch. Only a vet or rabbit expert can help rule out one versus the other. If the itching persists please see a vet or see if there is a local rabbit rescue or club that might be able to help.

At First We Thought It Was Food Stuck In His Ear So Tried To Comb…

At first we thought it was food stuck in his ear so tried to comb it out last night. Today he’s been scratching his ear. It’s become worse and become a scab/sore.

    Try mixing about a teaspoon and a half of salt with a bowl of warm water and wash it with that. Salt water works miracles☺️

    At 10 weeks old he should be seeing his vet about every 3 weeks for vaccinations etc, so I would make sure to show this to your vet during his next appt.  However, if the area gets worse I would schedule an appointment sooner.

    Good Luck

Can 1 Dog Get An Ear Infection From Another Dog? She Didn’t Have An Ear…

Can 1 dog get an ear infection from another dog? She didn’t have an ear infection 3 days ago when I took her to the vet. That day I let her mother come over & spend the night for a play date & she has ear infections in both ears & 1 is really bad. The owner doesn’t take care of the mother like I do my dogs. BJ’s has a tendency to get ear infections so I have medicated wash & a RX on hand for her. I wash her ears out once a week, but this morning her ear is red and she’s scratching it. I started her redgiment again & put her cone collar on so she doesn’t scratch.

I wouldn’t be thinking this if she hadn’t just seen her vet for her 6 months check up and nothing was wrong with her ears.

My dog had an ear infection that lasted for 3 months about 9 months ago. She went back 6 months ago for some more meds & got rid of it then. She’s 14 months old and a Corkie

    Normally, I would say no that ear infections are not commonly passed from 1 dog to another, however, it is possible to spread ear mites from 1 dog to another and the other dog could have been licking your dogs ear which could have lead to an ear infection.  Ear mites are not common in dogs.  So it’s possible that the visiting dog could have been licking you dogs ears resulting in an ear infection.

    Also, it is possible your dog could have just gotten an ear infection that just happened to coincide with the other dogs visit.
