I've been very worried about Bilem (read "Beelain"), the bunny I'm fostering..
Before she came here, she has been beaten by other rabbits (not sure about people), she had her eye tore, I don't know what else. So the area above her left eye is a little swollen, but ok.
What actually worries me is that she always has some red spots in her ears, I don't know if she made them by scratching or what. I can see little circular bumps inside her ears (as big as pimples, but with no stuff inside them). I also see the red scratches. Deep inside the ear, I can see white stuff, I can't tell what it is 'cause, unlike MILU, this bunny won't let me really handle her much.
I saw an article about using honey to treat ear mites and tries it (although I don't know what she has).

I diluted a little bit in water and sprayed it in her ears, not much and not well 'cause she always ran away and it's hard to try to treat her. I did that for quite some time, as I know 1 month of treatment is required. I still see red spots and bumps in her ear, got no clue what it can be.
The girls from whom I got this bunny said there's no mixo here (I was worried about that too) so thank God that's not it
I also noticed, since she arrived, that her nose is always wet. MILU and Fedorento (my 1st bunny) used to sneeze, and had this issue too, so I don't know if something here is bad for bunnies or if they all come like this. I noticed the wet nose since Bilem arrived here.
Now her eyes are getting a little too wet too.
I try to give tree branches for Bilem to bite (to prevent dental issues) but she hates them. The pushes them instead of biting. If anything, she bites ME, as she knows I'm the one who's holding the stick on her face. She's very smart, and likes things her way won't really fall for any of my tricks..
Any suggestions on what she might have, and what sort of treatment I could try?
Thanks for your help!
