Okay so I've been absent mostly from the forums because I've been too sick for raising rabbits. I kept my faves as pets. At the moment, one of them has fur mites.
I've tried to keep her isolated from the rest as much as possible, feeding her last and such. She has the distinctive v-shaped look. I gave her Ivermectin in her water, cleaned her cage with Borax, and have been dusting her and her cage (and even her food recently) with food grade DE. Insofar none of it has worked. The mites went away for a little bit, then came back with a vengeance and I can't kill the things!! Mind you, this is GC Smith's Kit and she is five years old. I realize she is elderly and my normal option would be to put her down due to ongoing illness, but it is strangely hard when it's a pet? Ugh. Do I have any other options at this point?
