bleeding ear

Question
One of my female mice is approx 1 year old.  She keeps scratching at her ear, and so  it bleeds and she scratches it, and if it is dry anyway it starts to bleed again.  Is there something like a disinfectant I can wipe her ear with to stop it irritating her??  Thank you for any advice.

Answer
Dear Jan,
thank you for your question.
Please see a rodent vet with the mouse to find out why she keeps scratching. Mites or a fungal infection can cause that and it won't disappear by itself, you will need the help of a vet for that. www.rmca.org/Vets has a list of good rodent vets.
I'm sorry that I cannot be of more help to you
