When I first got my Blue FG, Thunder I noticed that he would shake his head a lot more than my other rabbits. Upon inspection I did see that he had some wax in his ear, but that was about it. I went ahead, and dropped vegetable oil in both his ears, and the head shaking had stopped.... Until a few days ago. :evil: While my neighbors youngest daughter was visiting the rabbits she said. "Why is Thunder bleeding?" Unsure of what she meant I asked her to show me where it looked like he was bleeding. She pointed to his neck, just behind his ears. I pulled his ears forward so I could see the area she pointed out, and weelllll guess what I found?! Yeap, a bald spot, slightly red, with a few scabs! :x So that got me to thinking about his ears again. I looked them over, and yet again I find redness, and a build up of scabs.. verreaction: I am SO NOT happy right now. I quickly got me dropper, vegetable oil, and my tube of Ivermectin paste. I treated both of ears with the oil, and the spot on his neck with the paste. I covered the affected area, and a decent sized area around it. So that is my first question. Did I do everything right, and how often do I treat both areas?
After discovering that I thoroughly checked the rest of my herd, and saw no signs of fur mites, or ear mites. :wr_sweat:
That being said, I have seen a few of my rabbits have dandruff on their fur, but have never seen anything more than that. Should I be worried?
