Answer
Dear Vivian,

If a sample of the discharge hasn't been taken for culture and sensitivity, that should be done ASAP:

Ear problems and runny eyes can sometimes be related to dental problems, so please also read:

and

You can find an experienced rabbit vet here who might be more help than the vet you are now seeing:

I hope this helps.
