Mites?

i think my Charlie boy has mites, i just thought he was moulting as he looked quite tufty but after looking closely he has a patch of dandruff, Is this mites? Do i need to take him to the vets or can i treat it myself? Thanks
 
Check for red marks like tiny cuts if there are most likely mites (my toby had them not nice :() If it is go to your vets and get ivermectin and apply it to his/her neck I think its for a few weeks not sure how long it is.
 
Una if you want to bring him over to me I will have a look at him for you and I have Ivermectin:D
 
Jill (honeybunny) has mites at the moment - perhaps she can help? :)

ErR I may have a lot wrong with me but I don't have mites!:lol:


Ivermectin is the way to go..so I'd take Kay's kind offer up if I was you

Evidently they have changed the licensing on Ivermec..so the price has shot up..can anyone confirm this?:?

Sorry Kay, didnt see this post:oops: I took Charlie to the vets and he has some XENO 450 so hopefully this will cure it. I have to apply two tubes every two weeks (got 4 tubes) then take him back for a repeat course. Does this seem right?
