Milton Has a Problem Under His Chin

[Zanya]

That would probably be the next step he said. Then testing if that didn't work

Okay so now two of my other boys have scabs. I'm thinking mites or something. Ugh.
Calling the vet tomorrow.
Now were at 3/9 with scabs

So we are on Ivermec and not getting much better. This is frustrating :gaah:
I just want them instantly better but I know that cannot happen. We are only in week 1 of 3.

They will keep getting repopulated as the eggs hatch until there are no more, so give the cage a good scrub down every time they are treated.

I am, tomorrow is their next dose, and I will be scrubbing the cages down. I just hope this is the problem. If not we will have to go to a skin scrape. My little Milton is all scabby and losing hair under his chin, but that's the only place besides behind his ears. The others (not all) are starting scabs behind their ears. It's just frustrating.

It really does sound like mites. The Ivermec will do it's job.

That's what I'm thinking. Everyone has scabs now. Deep cleaned today and gave the 2nd dose. I just hope this works
