Just checked her ears yesterday as she's had a few more fits and they are a little crusty so I have treated her and Stevie with Xeno 450 for now.
When I adopted her back in Feb, they did advise me that she had just recovered from ear mites and then a few weeks later the vets confirmed that they had gone
She has still been having mini seizures (like uncontrollable movements) but she never appears in pain afterwards as she runs around and eats straight away, sometimes she appears to go blind for about 5 mins.
The above happens about once every two weeks and she has already had 2 6 week courses of Panacur to treat for EC.
Could the vet have been wrong when they said the mites had cleared up and they have been living deep in her ear canal coursing her absent moments?
If they are not from a previous attack, I'm assuming they have come in on the bales of hay? Arnie and Kira show no symptoms though and eat the same hay. I also thought they could only live for 21 days off the host, so undertandable after I first buy the hay but not after 3 weeks?
I will start freezing the hay and hope that kills off any nasties - I keep it in a spare wheelie bin (bought for the hay) in the garage.
I also plan on taking all 4 of them along for ivermectin injections in two weeks (as just xeno'd) any harm in using this if showing no symptoms? Roughly how much do these injhections cost and are they much more effective than the spot on?
Any other tips appreciated
