  i was petting my rabbit and noticed a small area around her ears was tiny white flakes (?) in her fur and around the base of her ear her skin was a little pinker than other areas of her skin. what should i do?

  To clarify, is this the exposed skin inside her ear or it is fur on the outside, at the base of the ear (so around the top of the head and neck/shoulders)? If there are flakes and it’s red, it could potentially be mites or ringworm. Both are treatable, but you need a vet to assess which it is and they will recommend the rabbit-safe treatment.

    it’s her skin on the outside of her ear at the bottom that is a bit reddish-pink looking, not anywhere in her ear. and the really tiny white things that seem like flakes are like in her fur from that area. it caught my eye because her fur is black so that was easily noticable.

  Sounds like mites or ringworm if the skin is flaky and irritated. You’ll need a vet to help you determine which one so you can do the proper treatment.
