I noticed a couple of red spots on the ear of one of my does about a week ago. I have kept an eye on her and I have seen a couple more. I put mineral oil in her ears yesterday and today. I have been reading about ear mites today and from what I understand they start way down inside the ear and work their way up. When I look down into her ears with a flashlight all I see is healthy looking pink flesh as far as I can see. The only thing I can think of is I just trimmed her claws last week and maybe the rough edges have caused this when she scratches her ears. I have seen her shake her head occasionally as I have seen all my rabbits shake their heads occasionally. Not like something is really bothering them badly. I have screens on my windows but there are usually a few flies in my shed but they usually seem more interested in the manure pans than the rabbits. Any help appreciated.
