When Toffee had mites, the vet gave us

It cleared them up nicely

Are the drop on products able to killmites? I'm sure they do, they're a few quid from asda or morrisons that I've seen, clearly labeled for rabbits xxx

cheapest for treating one rabbit would probably be the Beapher spot-on like they sell in Pets at Home.

There is 6 tubes, i had to apply 3 of them along his back once a fortnight for Toffee :wave:
it says: Apply 1 tube per kg bodyweight onto the skin on the back of the neck and down the spine.

As per Abbymarysmokey the Bephar spot on is brill!! The active ingredient is Ivermectin which is exactly what the vets give via injection for mites! Daisy had a bad case a few months back and it cleared it up quickly no trouble! Got mine from Pets at Home!
ETA: each little box has 4 doses so enough for your 3

Does the spot on treatment for mites kill ear mites too?

I have never used mite treatments. Should I be doing this as a precautionary treatment every month?

You can buy ivermectin direct which does the same thing and is much cheaper if you have a few buns. It keeps for a while in the fridge too.
Link http://www.hyperdrug.co.uk/Easimec-Ivermectin-05-10ml/productinfo/IVE1/ it gives you dosage instructions as well.

No, mite treatments should only be used when symptoms occur, not preventatively :wave:

Ooh hadn't realised you can actually buy it thanks!
Fluffiebunnie mites are sometimes picked up from hay especially if you feed farm baled stuff! It looks a bit like bunny is moulting with a bit of dandruff! Sometimes if you look at the skin in the affected area it can look a little bit flakey!

Thank you. My vet has said Twinkle has ear mites, but has given her antibiotic drops which is not helping.. Just wondered if I got the spot on stuff it would clear the ear mites up?
I do buy baled farm hay and she has been unwell so I think they have taken over a bit...
Should I get some spot on? Its only her ears at the moment causing her trouble, although she is grooming herself a lot which I just thought was becauswe I had been handling her a lot.

You should discuss any new treatment with your vet, especially because she is already on medication, they could interact with each other. Your vet also needs to know that the treatment they have given is not working
Ivermectin can be used to treat ear and skin mites, but if the inside of the ear is crusty-looking this may need to be removed manually by your vet. If Twinkle is grooming or scratching a lot have a look for skin mite signs, flaky skin when you part it and possibly bald patches.
Ive used xeno 450. The only advice Id give is to keep an eye on your bun once you've administered the product, some buns have a reaction to it & if he does be careful what shampoo you use when washing it off as some shampoos have ivermectin in them & the poor bun ends up having an overdose
