My rabbit has ear stuff and head flicking. Can I treat it at home?

Question

Hello. My rabbit has stuff in her ears for a while now and keep forgetting to see what’s up with them. She flicks her head around a lot. I think it’s bothering her. It kinda looks like hay particles to me. I don’t think it’s ear mites but she scratches her ears too. I would like to treat this at home if possible. It’s not bleeding or anything. It’s down in her ear pretty far. Also about the oxbow tabs- are they for ever day or just a treat? I have been feeding them everyday. Is that right? Thx!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is likely due to an ear infection. How often you use these depends on which of the tabs you are referring to. I would check the product instructions and follow that. I recommend that you have Oreo evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Your veterinarian would be able to check what type of infection is present and treat accordingly. Usually this resolves with topical therapy. Good luck and have a good day!
