treatment for ear mites

Don't talk to me about ear mites! I think this is the 6th time Coco has had them. :censored:

The vets always prescribe Xeno spot on and I have used the Beapher spot on from P@H too as it has the same active ingredient (Ivermectin) but is cheaper. I did a longer treatment (every 2 weeks for 6 weeks) last time and they seemed to clear completely. But the little ******* are back!!!
I'm reluctant to go back to the vets to get the same response, so done research on other sites and many people say that drops and olive oil are more effective so am trying some herbally drops this time - I'm at the end of my teather with them and they give me the creeps! Horrible things. :(

PS - he's indoors, clean surroundings and tried various hays but can't get to the bottom of them coming back. :?
 
Ive used Ivomectin for ferrets ears.A drop or 2 in ears and then again a week later.I use stronghold now.(Not patented for ferts but vets use the stuff).
Dont know bout bunnies.
May i ask...are bunny ear mites the same guys that ferts get?? They burrow and give ferts "The Staggers".Not very nice at all.........
 
I know you can put a couple of drops into guinea pigs ears but wasn't sure about rabbits . I am not sure if they get the same ear mites because
" species specific " keeps croping up but to be honest i dont think the mites are going to care where they get their meal from ;) . My rabbit doesn't seem to be off balance but i have heard it to cause problems like that . I have started with canaural so dont think i can do that now ?
 
my vet suggested xeno but this is only a spot on , i have ivomec here because i do my pigs with it but i can only put it on the back of the neck not inject it . So would putting it on topical not kill the ear mites ?
 
You can give Ivomec orally for bunnies. I don't know if it's the best way to treat ear mites, but it's safe anyway.
 
swelling of lips and mouth :? . Glad i found the link to this site again there is good info on it about EC and now i know why i lost toots to fits after her spay :(
