I've taken tons of photos...I'll take some more tomorrow and I'll just recap here if it won't bug anyone too much. I'd take them now but I've had a two day raging migraine. The only thing that distracts me is reading or online games. I know..
Anyhoo..
Noticed scabs on my blue rabbit, removed litter mate and put on the vet all-purpose gunk.
Was worse after that, and that weekend we removed all cages from rabbitry. Cleaned every corner, set out glue traps as well as some rat poison on opposite wall of cages. Sprayed DE everywhere..over hay, in food, over walls, ceiling, and floor. Outside, I put EVOO in every ear canal, sprayed mite spray, let dry, and dusted rabbits and cages with DE.
About four days later noticed some head shaking, put DE all over everyone, in food, and did the oil again.
I've acquired two new rabbits, they were completely dusted with DE, sprayed with mite spray, and oiled their ears three days in a row.
The kits were head shaking last night, I oiled the ears. Their skin looks thin on their faces...the oil was a little cold and congealed, so when I did warm it up, both of them got much more than a few drops. I'm wondering if the oil was just too much and bothered them so they scratched at their ears.
All of the younger ones seem to have thinning hair in the 'fat folds' on the rear of their neck...they lean out their cage and lean their heads downward, and that is when I can see pink skin through the hair.
Really hope everything you did cures the problem.
