Bunny

Head shake & ear itch problematic?


I did take my bunny to one of the best exotic vets in the SF Bay Area within 18 hours of getting him. However, the vet said that he doesn't have mites, and that there doesn't seem to be an infection. I suspect she didn't check thoroughly because I think she didn't use any specialized equipment. (Please see EDIT, I stand corrected).

The little guy may have been more aggressive lately due to his quality of life being worsened due to an ear itch every few minutes.

I think I should also see another exotic vet. The upcoming holiday season will make it hard to get appointments, so it has to be today.

However, before then, I was wondering if the head shake in this video is characteristic of an ear infection in Lops.

Thank you!

EDIT: The vet said she did use an Otoscope, and there could be some mites that have not yet caused a lesion.

UPDATE: I picked up a prescription medication from the clinic that's 40 miles away from me (one-way). Another vet at the clinic claims to have seen his ears but I doubt it because she was back in a few seconds after the receptionist took the pet carrier inside with her (didn't let me enter).
