This little rabbit seems to get everything going these days, poor little man. :?
On the bunnies weekly check I noticed the tell tale flaky skin on the inside of Milo's ear on his right, he is scratching a bit and shaking his head now and then. His ear is also quite red and inflamed and flaky on the inside (I had a look with my scope)
It's not bothering him too much right now but I've got some Xeno 450 on the way, I'm just hoping that he's ok for 24 hours whilst I wait for it to get here. I wouldn't trust the Hartlepool vet to look at him anyway.
It couldn't have happened at a worse time, my parents are away so usually I'd get them to pop him into the vets but luckily I spoke to Jo and after explaining the symptoms she told me to treat him for mites and see how he goes. I'm 99.9% sure its ear mites.
I know mites are common, but I can't help but worry after Milo has just got over his second bout of stasis and a head tilt. I'm keeping a vigilant eye for any signs of a head tilt returning or any signs of infection.
I wonder if I'll have to treat Finn eventually as well? Does steam cleaning get rid of mites? I know I'll have to be vigilant with cleaning.
I may have to take out their cotton rug as well, if I can steam clean it that's ok but otherwise ill have to be rid of it.
