Ozzie was off his food last week, he's been to the vets and had Zantac and is back eating well, although he is still having the Zantac twice a day.
He went back for a check up yesterday and all was well - he's put on weight and everything. But the vet spotted mites and he was treated with something like Spot On.
I'm taking his girlfriend today to see if she has mites too, although it doesn't look like it to me.
My questions are:
Whats the best product to clean out the hutch with to treat any mites there? I've scrubbed with a bleach solution (because last year one had EC so I still use this once a month or so to keep on top of EC spores). Is that enough?
Also how else can I prevent mites? I've bought some pet shop hay thinking that'll have less chance of mites than the farm stuff i normally buy.
And as Ozzie is still on the Zantac (just to finish off the little bottle - vet advised), is it likely that'll the lack of appetite will return? The vet couldn't find what was making him not eat - it didn't seem to be a blockage etc.
Thanks and sorry for all the questions!!!
