Help with fur mites?

[luvthempigs]

It's not really complicated at all and the best part is that it's much more economical to use (especially for those of us who have multiple critters)

Of course, You as the pet owner needs to be 100% comfortable with the treatment you are using on your pet(s). None of us wants to injure or harm our own pet or anyone elses for that matter.

I cannot figure out why my mini lop, Hunny get mites every so often. She is not an outdoor rabbit. We have an indoor hutch and I let her out to run around the house for a few hours every day until she returns back to the hutch. I also have a Jersey Woolie Ziggy, that is close by her all the time. He never gets mites! I am thinking that maybe she gets it from he Timmothy hay? I have heard that.

Otherwise, I am glad to find out that you can use horse wormer for mites. It gets frustrating taking her in for ivometin shots because of the cost. I don't know if I can get revolution here in the United States. I never see it. Does anybody know where you can get it?

Try using giving your rabbit some
IvermectinIt should clear up the problem.

Revolution is available in the United States. But you can only get it as a prescription from a vet.

Since Gus is an indoor/outdoor rabbit, he seems to need to be dosed about every 2-3 months. He's a much happier rabbit for it, I must tell you!

Hope that helps!

[align=center]I just had to deal with fur mites from rabbits that came home from show, I use both diatomaceous earth and cattle ivermectin the injectable type. I give it to them oral 1 drop per pound. That means .01 ML per pound. The diatomaceous earth I sprinkle on them like a powder and put some in there trays, litter and anyplace else that rabbit is going to be at. It smothers the mites... Its great for fleas and other issues aswell.
