ear

Question
hello
i discovered one of my rabbits ears looked a bit strange,right at the tip it seems to be crusty and lumpy any ideas?

Answer
Dear Lou,

It could be a mild, early case of mange or ear canker, which is caused by parasitic mites.  Please see:

for more information on treatment, and find a good rabbit vet here:

Hope this helps.
