All rabbits survived the procedure. Otitis externa resolved in all lop\u2010eared rabbits. Of 29 ears with OM\u2010associated head tilt, eight (28%) resolved, nine (31%) improved, seven (24%) remained unchanged and five (17%) worsened. Outcome was not associated with head tilt duration nor OM severity. Postoperative complications occurred in 12 (25%) cases, seven of which had wound margin dehiscence that healed by 21\u2009days. The most frequent bacteria isolated were <jats:italic>Pasteurella multocida<\/jats:italic> (16%), <jats:italic>Bordetella bronchiseptica<\/jats:italic> (14%) and <jats:italic>Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:italic> (14%).
