Mr. Bun Bun, my 7 year old rabbit, is having an issue.
As I've mentioned about his fur mites before, he's on a drop for them, but if you ask me, the improvement is not as good as I thought it would be. He had 2 drops. His last one was last friday. Do you think I need to order more drops or just wait to see if it improves?
Now I have a question about my vet. I asked him how he got fur mites, cause my other rabbits never had them. The only possible way he could of gotten them is from the wild rabbits that venture our garden in the past, but he said Bun Bun probably had them all his life(from his parents/cage mates) and now that he's old, his immune system is low and that's why they are showing up on him.
Well, now I've seen bite marks on him from the mites itching him too much.
Bun Bun is also having a few behavioral issues right now too(which I will mention in the Behavior section).
Is it possible that Bun Bun could just have some type of skin issue? I mean, I don't want to argue with my savvy, but he said that he didn't need a skin scrape, he just said that they're definitely fur mites. I just want to really know if there's a possiblility that something else is going on.
Thanks for any reponses! Bun Bun and I really need it!
But I'm really tired and I'm going to sleep a bit early, but I'll probably wake up really early to respond to you guys.
Thanks again, and good night!
