bunny w/ ear cyst

Question
Hello , I just picked up a dutch bunny from a auction and noticed that looks to be a cyst or i would say cauliflower ear . any idea the bunny is only 7wks.

Answer
Dear Dina,

Without seeing the ear, I can't even begin to guess what could be wrong.  It could be a congenital deformity, an injury from being chewed/overgroomed by his mother, or even mange.  

Please find a good rabbit vet here:

and get him there for examination.  Note also that a rabbit should not be taken from his mother younger than 8 weeks of age, or he runs the risk of very dangerous intestinal infections.  Please read:

and keep a very sharp eye out for any sign of runny stool.

I hope this helps.

Dana
