Ivermectin alternative?

[Arguable sauce]

I have a doe with ear mites pretty bad. Supposedly she's a giant chin but was a rescue and has popped out some dilute chins and a white/frosty one recently so I think she's a mutt. Should I be worried about ivermectin sensitivity? Is there an effective alternative?

Why are you worried about Ivermectin sensitivity? Have you dosed her with Ivermectin before and gotten a bad reaction? Are mutt rabbits more sensitive to medicines?

I’ve heard that bunnies with the Vienna gene can have neurological effects from ivermectin. I could be wrong! I read about it when I was potentially getting a BEW English angora rabbit.

if she has ear mites you could just try the tried and true method of oil in the ear.

What is the oil method?

put veggie oil in the ear to smother the mites.
