Abstract

Ear disease is a common presentation in rabbits; as in other species, it takes the form of otitis externa, media and/or interna.

This chapter considers ear and sinus disease and surgery. Operative Techniques: Ear syringing; Lateral wall resection; Total ear canal ablation via lateral bulla osteotomy; Total ear canal ablation via a ventral bulla osteotomy; Flushing the dorsal conchal sinus via a dorsal approach; Flushing the dorsal recess of the maxillary sinus via a lateral approach; Flushing the ventral recess of the maxillary sinus via a lateral approach.
