How to clean ears

[Myia09]

Is there a solution that makes it easier to clean a rabbits ears?

My EL has some brown spots that are difficult to get out with just a cotton ball and water, lol.

You can order a fantastic solution online (and many vets have it). It is made by a company called Virbac and is called Epi-Otic. For more difficult jobs, they have a much stronger product called Cerulytic. When you do ears, especially in rabbits, you don't want to use water or oils like mineral oil (and mineral oil and similar products are inappropriate and ineffective in controlling mites). The product should contain a drying agent so that moisture won't stay in the ear. That producesa breeding ground for bacteria and potential ear infections.
