Scab around ears and eyes and paws.

Question
My rabbit has got some white flaky substance around his eyes,paws and on his ears. i am worried. is my rabbit okay?

Answer
Dear Ilisha,

This sounds very much like mange, which is caused by parasitic mites.  You'll need to get bun to a good rabbit vet for treatment.  Our vets almost invariably use Revolution (selamectin) to treat this problem:

It's very safe for rabbits, and gives excellent results.

You can find a good rabbit vet here:

Hope this helps.
