Ok, so I took Rocky to the vet the other day and I asked about fur mites. The doc said that he didn't think he had them. The reason I asked about it was because Rocky gets very itchy all over and it annoys him. When i lightly scratch his back he starts licking and wiggling like dogs do when u give them a good scratch. I looked at his skin and it looks a little dandruffy.
The doc said that he thinks it's an allergy because he hasn't got bald patches and his fur isn't falling out. He is moulting, but he has been moulting for months which is another reason I thought mites. I know some bunnies are just constant moulters and he is only 1 and a couple of months old so not old enough for me to notice a moulting pattern yet.
Could he have fur mites? And what would he be allergic to? he gets in the grass a lot and has meadow hay. There is nothing else that I can think of that would cause a skin allergy that is so wide spread. He chews and scratches a lot and I want to give him some relief. Would it hurt to treat him with some revolution? I have a feeling the vet wont do it so can I do it myself? if it is an allergy, is there anything can do for him?
Sorry for the novel, thanks in advance
