Cleaning the environment is an important component of ear mites treatment: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Mites#Ear_mites

I agree that reaching out to either the same vet or finding a different one for at least some informed guidance is necessary to ensure proper and safe tx. Here is a website w/ some various links that may help with finding an…[Read more]

Hmm… that isn’t very helpful because it doesn’t say how much ivermectin is actually in it. Assuming it is meant for horses, the concentration is probably high. You do not want to risk overdose. Would your vet be able to help you out with figuring out the correct dosage? Maybe they are familiar with the concentration of that particular formula.…[Read more]

Thank you for your reply.

As far as black specs inside the ears, they don’t seem to have them yet. Maybe they do but might be deeper inside the ear. No crusting happening yet. I do notice A LOT of dandruff And constantly scratching.

The bottle of ivermectin is 120ml for horses. That’s all it says on the box.

There is just so much dust and hair…[Read more]

Your vet should be able to properly prescribe something, even if they are doubtful that it’s ear mites. With topical treatments, there’s no harm done if it turns out not…[Read more]

Many people do report good effects of Benebac for rabbits. It has enterococchus faecium, which is a bacterium that is highly prevalent in the healthy bunny gut. Most lactobacilli are not believed to survive the very acid environment of the rabbit stomach, but that goes for adult rabbits – in baby buns those bacteria have a better chance of…[Read more]

Thank you guys for your help! I have decided to go pick up some pancur to treat him, and continue to t apply Neosporin on his sores until further notice!

Thanks using Bene-bac , the only thing I could find local.  I did see a discussion some people claimed the formula changed years ago and it does not work, but felt it may be better than not having anything as other claimed success with it.   I was not sure about brewers yeast, is that something I can just get any brewers yeast at the store?
