Ear mite treatments?

Just wondered if anyone has used anything other than spot ons to get rid of mites?

Looks like the little :censored: have come back again, there's crusty stuff deep in Coco's ear and over the past few months he's had 2 courses of Xeno from the vets and 2 of Beaphar from P@H, presume some eggs must have been left and have spread again.

Seen a herbal drop solution, wondered if to try that before going to vets again, or if any one has any other recommendations? x
 
I'd like to know about this too, my bun has got Ear mites again for the 2nd time in a year. Thankfully her sister has never had it. Vet said she may be allergic to the straw, making her immune system very weak.

The vet has given her an injection, as i caught it early so all should be well, but he mentioned getting spoton, and doing a long course of it!
 
I work at a vets one day a week and they use a mite treatment that is for specifically for small animals. I can't remember the name tho :roll: bt i dont think it was called xeno. But its really effective because I have seen about 3 or 4 rabbits in the last couple of weeks cme in for mite treatment and it has cleared the mites up for all of them. The reatment i've seen used is a spot on bt there are lots of different ones and its a bottle so the vet applies at the time.

U said ur rabbit had the spot on for 2 courses bt depends how lng each course was. once a week for 3-4 weeks if its quite mild bt if ur rabbits has them quite badly then u would need a longer course. sorry rabbitin on here :p

av nt heard of any herbal treatments being used bt anythings worth a try, jst watch out for allergies if ur rabbit has any :)

al try and find the name of that spot on av seen used, if its xeno sorry :/ bt i dont think the name sounds familiar.

Thanks weewabbits. The Beaphar was just a couple of applications, but the Xeno was weekly for around a month but still must not have completely killed all the eggs.

Will see how I get on with the drops and maybe go back to vets and ask for injections rather than spot-on - which he is obsessed at trying to lick off! :roll:
