I have two 1+ year old american fuzzy lops and a cat. All indoor only. The boy is fully recovered from e cuniculi for almost a year so his immune system is already not perfect. They’ve had fur mites for months. Maybe since May? Vet gave me revolution for both, didn’t do anything. Went back and got ivermectin and that worked for a bit but never full recovery. Fast forward to the present and still mites, now getting worse and in the ears too. I unfortunately have carpet and rent. I vacuum the carpets regularly and even got fleabusters which helped. Their metal cage gets sanitized weekly with diluted bleach. Everything is washed weekly including blankets and couch cushions. I’ve dusted everyone with diatomaceous earth Nd putapple cider vinegar in the water. I’m worried about the long term use of ivermectin (health wise and mites becoming immune) and would prefer natural remedies. It’s so bad right now that I’m itching but I have sensitive skin.
Please help! What am I missing? Does anything else work? I’m at a loss. The vet, who is the preferred rabbit vet of the rescues, doesn’t have other ideas. Frankly, other rabbit vets here (Seattle) have been worse. Any advice is appreciated!
