  If it where me I would get something recommended by the vet – it may be perfectly safe but it may not be as effective as something you can get from the vet.

  I agree with Sarita, give the vet a call and ask. I’m not sure about this product.

  I would recommend the Otirinse- it is commonly used for dogs and cat but can be used in other animals too. I would stay away from “pet store” type health items- it seems as though they market things to make money- not necessarily to design a good product for cleaning rabbit ears. I am most irked when I see vitmans that are labeled hamster/gerbil or guinea pig/rabbit- all 4 of these critters have unique needs and because of their size they lump them into 1 or 2 catagories.
  
  Otirinse is vet recommended and less likely to cause a problem with using it. SOme ear cleaners leave the ear wet and at a ph where yeast abd bacteria can thrive- add into that a lop ear- darkness also. All the makings for an ear infection.
  
  I would recommend to ear cleansers recommended by your vet. But Otirinse is good.

  Yep – OtiRinse was developed for dogs with floppy ears but is safe for buns. You can get it from any of the online pet med vendors (I got 2 big bottles from 1800petmeds and decant it into smaller easier-to-handle bottles.
  
  I was actually given a small bottle at the shelter when I adopted my lop.
