        My sweet bunny went to the vet two weeks ago for a checkup and everything was normal and she is healthy. However, today when she was out playing I checked her ears and in just one ear I found a few dark specks almost like flecks of dirt or dried blood. She has been eating and pooping regularly and is acting fine. But I know that lops are especially vulnerable to ear issues so I was wondering if anyone else has ever seen this and if it constitutes a visit to the vet? I am almost positive it isn’t ear mites because she has not been scratching and I found no other specks under her fur on her body. I will attach a picture below, please help if you have any input ! In the picture it looks like it is a clump of these specks but it is just individual ones. They aren’t attached and can be picked off.

          It’s hard to say, but my suspicion would be early stage ear mites.

            Agree with Azerane. Revolution from your vet will clear that up.

              Update: We went to the vet and he found no ear mites but a little more wax than normal. He cleaned her ears and checked the cotton swab under the microscope and found yeast which can be very itchy. She was prescribed ear drops to be given daily for two weeks. She hates them but i hope they will help! If anyone has tips on how to maybe calm her down a bit while giving the ear drops please let me know
