Does anyone know what the paste stuff is called that you get from the vets for the treatment of mite infections? Dilbert looks to have them again, need to find a new hay supplier i think...

Not sure about any paste type treatments, but the treatment for mites is ivermection (or selamectin).

It's the stuff that goes on the back of the neck, suppose it's more like gel than paste?
I've used xeno 450 (it's about £18 from vet uk for 6 pipettes I think) and it's the same active ingredient as the Beaphar one (ivermectin).
Is Dilbert ok health-wise? As I've read that mites are usually present in small numbers on most/all bunnies but they tend to get over-run with them when they're not feeling 100%.
