Hi Guys
I did post a thread in 'Health', which didn't yield many replies and I'm quite worried about Lewis so I'm posting a new thread here Hope that's ok :wave:
Basically the vet thinks Lewis has ear mites, as he was shaking head head a lot and scratching his ears (one more than the other). Well, she couldn't see any mites down his ear, so would be early stages. Anyway, he will have been having the canaural a week tomorrow, and this morning he was shaking his ear again, he doesn't do it a lot... but his ear is clearly not better How long does it usually take to treat ear mites? I'm giving him 4 drops in each ear, once a day. He also started breathing rapidly last night (not doing it now :thumb.
We assume it's mites as Lily had mites when we got her, although we thought they'd cleared up before bonding her with Lewis. Also, she still has bald patche on her ears (nothing major). Going to pick some mite treatment with ivermectin in it from Kennelgate later, as the stuff I have left over is for small bunnies. Maybe I should give her 1 treatment? The vets round here are VERY useless and they can't even tell you basic information over the phone :roll:
