Hello,
First of all long time no see and sorry for my poor English, if I make mistakes with some terms.

I have the same problem with the female(doe).
I've changed her diet many times and I give them now only simple good pellets, hay and water. I even bought from outside some Fibreplex and for 2-3 days she was fine but after the same thing happen again. This happen without Fibreplex too so it may have been a coincidence. She sometimes has a couple of days when she is fine.
They live in the same cage and the male(buck) doesn't have anything. She almost has no hair on her tail.
She also has some crusts for some time on her back(above the tail) and at her tail base. I supposed that these may have formed because of all the poop.
Like I said before I have taken twice some poop to be examined, but I don't think the vets did them as I didn't received anything and both said that she has nothing.
I have now find another vet that knows about rabbits and made some exams(this time they were made and I received files for each of them). We made an ultrasound, a blood test, poop test and one for the crusts on her skin. The ultrasound and the blood test came good, but in the poop and crust they were shocked as they said she is full of mites.
How could she have gotten them? Could she have had them from little and they multiplied and that's why the poop problem became more serious?
Why didn't the male got them too and has the same problem? I saw sometimes some small crusts on him but nothing to be concerned about.
Now the vet gave us treatment for both of them. The vet said that we need to do an internal and external worming(if I said it well).
She gave us this to put on the back of their neck:

And this to give them on mouth:

Is the treatment ok or would there have been something better?
Thanks a lot again.
Ps: I forgot to say. She kind of forces herself to pee. She rises herself on her feet and bends her back a bit to the top. Is this because of the mites problem too?
