Hi,
I've noticed Charlie has a patch on his back with less fur, although I've never seen him scratching that area. On closer inspection it looks like dandruff and flaky skin. I've looked at some pics of mites in rabbits and this does look the same. I feel awful because I actually noticed it about 2-3 weeks ago but he was just at the end of a major moult that lasted weeks and I thought it was just part of that (he looked like an old, flea bitten, moth eaten teddy during his moult!).
I bought some Beaphar Anti Parasite Spot On for Rabbits and Guineapigs and have just applied 2 tubes of it to the affected area.
I wondered if anyone has heard of or used this particular brand of treatment and whether over the counter treatments are usually effective or whether I should take him to the vets? Also, how long will it take to clear up?
Thanks x
