  I have a mini lop with some red spots inside one of his ear and on the back of his neck. I took pictures if someone can help me identify what it looks like. I have a vet appointment but the soonest is in a week. He is strictly indoors only, is neutered, and has a bonded partner who is spayed. His activity level, bowel movements, and appetite are normal. Thanks for any insight!

  Could his bonded mate have nipped him? The back of the neck is a typical spot where a bun could feel inclined to nip another bun. Even if your bun is a he, a bonded girl bun could try to mount him.
  
  One of my buns got small sores in his ears a week after vaccination (an old vaccine that is nolonger in use).

  It’s a possibility but it seems the redness goes down into the ear canal. The other ear is better, just one small red dot.

  If the redness goes down into the ear, that makes me think of mites. Could be ear and/or fur mites, both of which can be treated with Revolution (dosed by your vet).

  I was going to go with bites from mounting too. But if the redness/irritation goes down into the ear, then it could be mites as Dana suggested.

  I checked the ears of his partner and her ears are fine. They’re both indoors so mites were not on my radar. He is not scratching the ear excessively which I think would be odd if it were mites, right?

  Buns can have mites and be asymptomatic. They can also come in on hay. It would be OK to keep an eye on it and see if it heals or gets worse. If it keeps getting worse then you should def go to your vet.
