[u]Ear mites and canker in your rabbits:[/u]

Ear mites is a parasite than can infect the interior of the ear in your rabbits ear.
A rabbit with ear mites might shake head and scratch ears frequentley.The interior of the rabbits ear may have a dark crust.If the ear is not treated then the ear will become infected and turn very red and very sore with a bad smelly discharge.

[u]To help clear it up[/u]

Mix apple cider vinegar with some olive oil,clean the ear well to remove waxy build up.

Then use a dropper and add 6 to 8 drops in each ear,holding the ear flap closed for a few minutes so you dont get covered.

If after 2 days you cant get it cleared or a discharge starts then take to a vets.

Apple cider Vinegar in a water bottle also acts as a repellent and also is a tonic for your rabbits.

This is only advice if your not happy with your rabbit then take to a vet
