i am pretty sure my rabbit has the early phase of ear mites, its black and crusty DEEP in the ear but i can see it, it hasnt spread up the ear but the fur behind his neck and around his ear seems a little roughed up and patchy.. i think its because he was scratching.. ive heard mineral oil can help... is that baby oil? but i dont want to do anything like that and i just want to take him to the vet.

but my question is, would baby oil work?

i tried to put it once today but he wont sit still and keeps shaking his head and getting rid of it.. i will just take him to the vet.. i dont know if i really should though because there are many people saying that home remedies work..

anyone with prior experience with home remedies?

anything i should do before taking him to the vet if thats what i need to do?

anything i can buy over the counter that i can just put in his water or something?
