I went to the vet last night. He took a scraping from Melanie's leg but he couldn't find skin mites. He gave her Ivermectin anyway because he says this is the most likely explanation for her bald patches.
He thought at first that Prince had Myxi!!:shock: But then decided it was the wrong time of year and as there isn't really a treatment for myxi anyway and Prince is not very very sick he has prescribed Panacur as he thinks it is most likely E Cuniculi.
We'll have to see how they both respond, but if Melanie gets worse or doesn't respond to Ivermectin then we will treather for E Cuniculi as well.
Any opinion on what my vet has said? My original thread about their sickness is here:
