  Hello there !
  
  Some of you are aware that Moshu was having some ear troubles. To put it in brief, the vet gave her an Ivermectin shot and a 5-10 day course of Enrofloxacin. The vet called for a second shot of Ivermectin after 10-14 days. My sister got me 3 small tubes of selamectin. I was wondering if I can use selamectin instead of Ivermectin since that will save me the time and cost of vet visit.
  
  I do see some reduction in her ear scratching after the Ivermectin shot. We’ve reached the 5th day of her abs course too.

  I’d go for the selamectin, it’s bunny safe and it will kill the same types of parasites as the ivermectin does. Selamectin is a modified, more efficient form of ivermectin.
