The evil mites rolf had disappeared v v quickly with spot on treatment like some people have already said. He licked quite a bit off but enough stays to make a difference - this stuff also keeps flystrike and fleas at bay and v cheap from vets! Would really recommend it!!

Just to update you all...
They went for their check up today and the vet was disapointed the Spot on cream hadnt really cleaned them up. I have been giving some mite shampoo. I washed them both earlyer with it and i go back on Thursday for the injections.

No they opted straight for the jabs ... they think that they are the best form of treatment ..... so went along with what they said.
Yuck at viewing them unders a magnifying glass, Im glad I dint look .... I couldnt believe how tiny they are ... just like specks of dirt

I guess if your bun has just a few of the mites then spot on treatment might be best. Wish i went stright for the jabs now!
Yes they are soo small, but they are ugly little things i tell you!
I wonder what causes fur mites?

I don't know ... I have been told various things by various people
They can get on your pets through contaminated bedding
Passing from one infected animal to another
And that when an animal is feeling under the weather .. they can just develop them ...
Don't know if these are all true.... any rescues out there like to add there experienced knowledge ???????
PLEEEEAASEEEEEEE

When i first went to the vet she said it was normally past with bedding, so i changed it and got rid of what i had left and started a new bag. When i went back today the man told me it could be anything!
Would be interesting to know how to prevent these from occuring in the future!
