Hi guys! my 9 month old mini lop has ear mites. I took him to the vets 6 weeks ago and they confirmed it after seeing scabs and mites in his ear canal. Yesterday, I took him back as he was still itching and his treatment was over. They looked into his ears and said there were still some scabs in his ears, but overall not as much as 6 weeks ago. They gave us more ivermectin spot on treatment thats scheduled to be put on tomorrow. Today I saw him scratching a lot. he tends to scratch inside his ears, cheeks, neck and forehead. He also bites at the fur on his shoulders near his ears as well. Maybe it was an uncomfortable scab, as he was going on for a good few minutes flapping and licking his ears! Anyway, I was just wondering whether it’s normal for the treatment to take this long. Ear mites die in 3 weeks, so I expected it to be done with by now. Because of COVID, we can’t be with him whilst he’s getting checked out by the vet, so I didn’t really see the severity of the issue inside his ear. Is it possible he maybe has an ear infection now? Should I have pressured my vet to take x-rays of bun’s face? I haven’t noticed any signs of head tilt, and his face looks pretty symmetrical, both sides seem to be working (sometimes he twitches one cheek and not the other, but I’m not sure if that’s normal or not). He doesn’t get angry when I touch on the top of his head (where I can feel the tubes that lead to his ears, idk what they’re called aha).  Am I overreacting and panicking about an ear infection he probably doesn’t have? He’s my first pet so I get stressed even when he does the littlest of things, which is probably why I’ve posted around 10 forums in the space of a month lol!!! He’s eating a lot and running around still, but sometimes I think that his sudden jumps and flappy ears can be caused by surprising discomfort… thoughts?
