Hi everyone! :happybunny:
My bun has ear mites and I have recently bought some oral Ivermectin - 0.8g/L .
Are mites under "The Mange Dose" ? If it is, the bottle states to give your rabbit 0.5mL/kg
However, I have found so much conflicting information that says to give quite different amounts!!!
One website said to give "Ivermectin: 0.4 mg/kg, PO (oral) or SC (subcutaneous injection), 3 times at intervals of 14 days (life cycle of Psoroptes cuniculi is 21 days); 0.2 mg/kg has been found ineffective" http://medirabbit.com/EN/Skin_diseases/Parasitic/earmite/Psoroptes.htm
A rabbit rescue founder near me recommended 0.5ml/kg orally and 0.1ml in the ear
What do YOU guys think? Remembering my Ivermectin strength is 0.8g/L, how much is the dose?
I really don't want to give my bunny too less or too strong of a dose - any advice, tips and case studies from you guys would be great!
Thank you ink iris:
P.S. I live in Australia, if that changes anything:blushan:
