Question
why does my rabbit have crust/bumps in her ear? she also is a black Netherland dwarf and she has about 1 cm in diameter a white spot that is a pink bump that has grown since we got her 6 months ago

Answer
Dear Karina,

Please see:

www.bio.miami.edu/hare/furloss.html

to see if the bumps fit the description of any of the conditions there (e.g., mange, ear canker).  If not, then please get bun to a good rabbit vet:

www.rabbit.org/vets

for an in-person diagnosis of this problem.  The vet will then be able to prescribe treatment, as necessary.  It is impossible for me to diagnose the problem without seeing it in person.

Hope this helps.
