I belive so, could also be a sign of ear mites.. i suggest a vet visit.

i’m not 100% sure on that infection part though, i would assume, if she’s scratching that she’s possibly have mites, and scratching can cause scratches in her ears that could be infected..

My Theory.. i’m no vet though

lol most ear mites are like fleas… one of the easy problems to fix. Honestly.. she’s not going to be damaged in anyway.

Any Better?

Yes. I would get her to a vet so the problem doesn’t get worse and you end up paying even more! I totally understand that you can’t afford it right now, but I hope you can get her in soon. Hope you get her in and she is back to normal soon!

It is looking like she has the same symptoms of what Chacha had. She had a ear yeast infection: scratching her ears, shaking her head. A swab test will likely need to be done.

The vet will likely have to look at the debris under a microscope.  Ear mites are not usually visible to the naked eye- unless sometimes you can see general movement in bad cases (Yeck!).  And in the case of infection the vet will look to determine if it is yeast (fungal) or a bacterial infection to determine what medicine will work to cure the infection.

A few months is a long time and it can be getting worse untreated. Ask your vet if she can bill you later for an immediate appointment, so you know you can budget for it. Also, you can ask if you can make a partial payment now and the rest of the bill later. I’d hate to see it get hard to treat if left too long. The meds will cost, but will be worth it if it can be cleared up completely. Also you can ask the vet to let you know if there is any preventative care and maintenance you can do with her regularly, depending on what it is, so you can avoid a recurrence.

Sigh. I hear you.

Do her ears have a smell to them? Sounds yucky but try swabbing her ears and then checking if there is a smell. Normal bunny ears have no smell but any smell is a sure sign of infection. Although no smell doesn’t necessarily mean no infection as Bindi has had many infections and had no smell or itchy ears. You can always take a peek in her ears with a small flashlight (I use a keychain flashlight to check all my bunnies’ ears weekly). Check for redness which is also a sign of infection. A wax blockage can also cause itching and shaking.

Just be careful to swab no further into the ear than you can see- otherwise you could possibly rupture the ear drum which is painful and takes a long time to heal and needs additional meds and care.
