Hello,
Yesterday I went to vet because my rabbit had a watery eye and the vet told that he got ear mites again and has an ear infection because of it (the vet gave him ivermectin shot and prescribed an ear drop). The worst thing is that I let him play with 4 female rabbit which the vet checked before that they didn't have mite because they were separated until I nurtured and spayed them and I brought them to the vet today and they all have been infected and will cost almost 1500$ and I can bearly afford it.
My questions are can I give them the ivermectin myself? And is it safe to do it?If so what dosage should I give them?
How can I make sure that they don't get it again? Is hay the cause ? or is because of a rat that I found in my house a two weeks ago?
Their ages ranges from 2-3.5 years and weight 4-5 kg and they all live indoor
thank you
