Скачать или смотреть How To Diagnose and Treat Rabbit MITES! - Bunnies with hair loss and flaky skin

This rabbit came in for hair loss and crusty skin between the shoulder blades. 🐇

Although this rabbit didn’t seem to be pruritic, or itchy, I was still suspicious of mites.

We used tape to get a sample of the “dandruff” and look at it under the microscope.

We found this rabbit fur mite, called Cheyletiella, otherwise known as “walking dandruff.”

My favorite treatment for this is topical revolution, dosed at 15 mg /kg once a month. Multiple treatents may be needed depending on the severity of the infection.

Thorough cleaning of the home is necessary to prevent the animal from becoming re-infected.
