        a couple months ago my rabbit had ear mites but she recovered successfully according to her vet who is specialized in treating rabbits today i noticed my rabbit wanted to scratch her ear so i helped her because since her leg got amputated she can’t scratch her own ear i decided to check up on her just because i noticed in both ears there was a little yellow thingy i can’t call it ear flakes because it wasn’t hard like when a rabbit has ear mites and not as dark as ear mite flakes it was light yellow but still when i saw this i got a little anxious although i will say that she’s hasn’t lost any weight in fact she’s been gaining weight and is heavier than before and doesn’t shake her head or scratch/ try to scratch her ears a lot but still i want someone else’s opinion because i’m not that expert when it comes to rabbit and sometimes anxiety can get the best of me also i don’t want to book an appointment that costs 50 dollars only to find out she’s okay the amount of times i have embarrassed myself by booking appointments because of my anxiousness is way too high

          Can you just call your vet to consult? I do this commonly with Wick’s vet so I can gauge whether an appointment is necessary. It seems you’ve got a clear view of it so you could describe it well to your vet.

            Could be just wax buildup but hard to say. Bunnies missing legs can have a very hard time keeping their ears clean. Maybe your vet could suggest an ear cleaner that would help.
