One of my bunnies got ear mites, then others got it. One got mange/fur mites. THis all seemed to happen overnight. I take great care of my bunnies and am trying to stay on top of this problem.
They are all getting better or are already better. My smallest bunny, named Nutmeg, just reached breeding age, but now, she is not doing well. She was one of the last of the bunnies who got this to come down with it. When she did start losing hair it has slowly gotten worse. She really is not responding and I am concerned as she looks so very bad. l have tried treating her for mange mites as well as ear mites. She has yellow crust on the outside of her ears, and on her cheeks, neck, and now a little on her back.
All of the other rabbits responded very well and have all healed from the fur mites and ear mites. I used natural treatments for all. Here is what I have been doing for all rabbits including Nutmeg as I treated all rabbits for both kinds of mites just in case.
Fur mites: Original Listerine on spine from neck to tail. DE on fur (repeated once a week) All rabbits either healed from the mites or continued to show no signs of mites.
Ear mites: Extra Virgin Olive Oil drops with tea tree, rosemary, and lavender in the oil.
All rabbits receive water that has Apple cider vinegar and Grapefruit Seed Extract in it to fight infection and improve immune system. They all are eating fine and have normal poop. THeir personalities and activity level remains the same too and are very happy. Nutmeg, however, I know is not happy. She is getting worse and not better.
I am open to more suggestions to help her. All of your other suggestions (Listerine, EVOO, ACV, and DE) all worked so well. Thank you for your help. I want her to be well again.
