Mites

My little bunny has been malting (sp??) rather alot recently... This afternoon he had a tuft on his nose which came off in my hand.... completely loose I didnt pull it at all!! But now he had a bald patch there and a patch of really short fur on his nose... This has shown up today and definately wasn't there yesterday

He had mites a few months ago which left him with lots of bald patches so we had treated him treated for the mites at the vet which was quite expensive. He was shaking his head a lot and scratching his ears over the weekend but we checked him over for mites and ear mites but his ears and fur were totally clean!

Basically Im just wondering if there are treatments I could buy to try and treat it myself now.... Of course if it go any worse he's straight to the vet!! (starting to think he quite likes it there!! :?)


:wave: Thank you very much xx

i got mine from pharmaQ and it cost me £25 and it has lasted ages redoing bif all the time treating in case for two huge frenhcies and a lionhead as well as bif....

bifs still got some scurf but our vet said as her furs all back and shes not scratching 24/7 it may well be resdiual dandruff....a skin scrape is the only way to tell but hes said spot on thestuff and see how she goes.....
