Re: Why does my rabbit have a swollen dropped ear
What breed is she supposed to be?
Lops dont always have lopped ears, and some have one drop before the other. When you say swollen, all of it or part of it? Could she have a bite or a cut on it? I personally would get her to the vets if its really swollen. *Heidi*

Re: Why does my rabbit have a swollen dropped ear
Rags is supposed to be a lop, but she only has one floppy ear - both her ears are thicker at the ends but not grossly so - I'd take her to the vet to be sure!

Re: Why does my rabbit have a swollen dropped ear
Can we have a quick photo of your bunny?
If s/he is a Lop breed then when the ears do eventually lop they have a 'lump' for want of a better word, called the Crown, at the base of the ear. If you notice ANY other things like swelling elsewhere, watering eyes, not eating, go to a vet immediately.

Re: Why does my rabbit have a swollen dropped ear
It could be an ear infection if its swollen and your bun is not a lop eared bun. Need to see a pic really. Is there any discharge from the ear? Have you had a look down it?
