This information is in valuable thank you so much fellow bunny friends. I did not want to get bent over by my local veterinarian. They made sweet love to me at a $700 marking price just because my female had one baby and stopped producing so they gave her a shot a hormone shot to induce pregnancy and the rest came out safely.
My Angola bunny has had fur mites for over a week on her legs and back close to the tail, she lost fur on her front legs and see bear skin, does it work to drop the ivermectin 1-2 liquid drops on the back of her neck to kill fur mites for the entire body? Thanks.
Thank you so much for your video! When using coconut oil, do you just apply to the scaly and bald areas or cover the whole bunny in coconut oil? How many days do you usually reapply for?
What other oil can i drop in his ear aside from olive oil or coconut oil? Can i use canola oil the one use in cooking? The ivermectin, i will drop only at the back of his neck not inside the ear? Thank you very much
I hope you see this comment as I know this video is 2 years old. Does the drops of ivermectin have to be measured exactly as per weight of the bunny? I have 2 bunnies way different in sizes. Or is it just a couple of drops either way?
It doesn't matter the size of the bunny. Just a few drops per bunny. I do it till they start shaking thier head that means It hit the skin and they don't seem to like it but it is effective.
@@beardsbountifulbunnies1655 oh thank you so much for your reply 🥰 I wasn’t completely sure so I put 3 drops on the smaller bunny and 4 on my bigger bunny. I hope that wasn’t too much. They seem fine. Unfortunately my cat picked up the fur mites and so I applied 4 drops on her as well. I heard ivermectin wasn’t very good for cats. However the revolution I put on her is doing nothing. In fact I am seeing it get worse. I just chanced it and applied it like that. I hope I put a proper dosage on them all. Thank you for putting this video out. It may save my pets lives and help me keep my sanity
@@Splendid123456789 Hi splendid…..I actually have an Indian friend who helped me figure out how to dose it properly. So I wrote in my notes how to dose for small animals. I used the ivermectin from Tractor Supply (with the blue color). Anyhow this is how to dose…so you have to find out the weight of your animal and multiply .045 to the weight. But the .045 is only for dosing with that blue color ivermec. Umm the bunnies were extremely sick. They ended up having GI Stastis because of the stress of the fur mites. So I found a better solution. I ended up buying Food Grade (Has to be Food Grade otherwise it contains harsh chemicals) Diatomaceous Earth. Very carefully applying it to their fur and rubbing it as deep as you can. Doing it outdoors is much safer. But I found Diatomaceous Earth to be more effective and much safer….Hope this was helpful. Oh one more thing, in the beginning I did end up taking them to the vet and got them Revolution, but it didn’t work. If you bunnies have ear mites, I would try the oil thing as she’s advising in the video
You can put it in the fur as well a few times a day to smother them. Oil does take at least a few days. It's not as quick and effective as the ivermectin is.
my rabbits neck didn’t look bad but after using coconut oil it’s becoming so red and a lot of nasty scabs what do i do? is that what’s supposed to happen before it gets better ?????
Depends on how bad the mites are. Using oil it takes a few days. If you use the ivermectin it works super fast. And you can always do another dose in about 10 days to kill anything left over.
NO. This kind is not for oral use. You can squirt a line down his back and it will quickly take care of them. And also use ivermectiin PASTE a half a pea size orally.
@@beardsbountifulbunnies1655 i’m sorry too bug but i’m new to this , do you know if the skin gets a lil red(or irritated) before it gets better ? just because i’m using coconut oil on my bunny’s neck and before i started it wasn’t like really red but i saw she was losing hair , now it’s my 4th day using coconut oil and it looks more red (or irritated ) . again i’m sorry just please answer when you can
Just started with meat rabbits. Brought the home and within 3 days one of my does got fur mites. We believe it was from the hay. I used the ivermectin paste (a pea size). We decided to treat all 3 rabbits. The one with the mite issue didn't take well to the treatment. We thought we were going to lose her, she stopped eating and was not moving around much at all. 48 hours later she's doing better. My question is can you use ivermectin (pour on type) with meat rabbits that are my breeders? How long should one wait before eating the fryers if we have had to use it on them....or would you recommend not treating the fryers?
You can use it on all the rabbits it won't harm any of them. And normally you wait 30 days after use before eating them. So if they are close to butcher then don't worry about it.
My bunny has this and its not even half way up to the ears yet... Thank you, you saved us a lot of money and time
❤
Why have you left it in the ear. That's cruel

Awesome video! This is so informational and perfect demonstration!
Great information, thank you for posting.
I appreciate this video thank you lots!
THANK YOUUUUU 🫶
THAT RABBIT WAS LOVING THE EAR PETTING'S...LOL

I don't know if they are ear mites, my baby has a little and I mean little all the way inside I don't know what it is
How does the cooking oils help with getting rid of the mites ?
What about ivermectin paste? I feel like the oil method doesn’t work or the ivermectin drops. Do you recommend the paste?
Do you have to heat treat the pens to prevent reinfestation?
Do you think this could be save for dogs too ?
Hello can you please reply? Does it affect the rabbits if you suspect they have ear mites and use the medicine but they don't have ear mites???
No it will not hurt them at all.
could i add oil to skin to get rid of mites
My bunny has been having these white hard stuff in its ears and I have no idea if it's earmites as well. Could u pls tell me? Thank u:)
Red bumps in inner ear?
Whats the name of the product? Thank you
Pour on ivermectin. Its for cattle.
How far into the ear do i put the oil in
What’s the youngest age rabbit I can use this on?
What other oil can i drop in his ear aside from olive oil or coconut oil?
Can i use canola oil the one use in cooking?
The ivermectin, i will drop only at the back of his neck not inside the ear?
Thank you very much
Any cooking oil is fine. And you can drop the ivermectin in the ear. But it can bug them so dropping it on the neck works just fine.
@@beardsbountifulbunnies1655 hi! Just to make things clear for me, you dont inject the ivermectin right? You just make a drop on their neck's skin ?
Can u use this on dogs
For maintenance can you use the ivermectin once a month instead of paying for expensive revolution for mites?
Yep that's what I did
Ivermectin should only be used when needed or else parasites will become resistant to it and it wont work anymore

@Nandi10896 How did it work for your rabbits? I was getting ready to buy Revolution, but the reviews on it are awful, not to mention the cost.

Could I do this with fur mites too?
Yes same treatment
Beards Bountiful Bunnies thank you!
Yes
My rabbit has fur mites. Do I only use the coconut oil in ear or do I put it anywhere on the infected fur area as well. How long does it take?
You can put it in the fur as well a few times a day to smother them. Oil does take at least a few days. It's not as quick and effective as the ivermectin is.
my rabbits neck didn’t look bad but after using coconut oil it’s becoming so red and a lot of nasty scabs what do i do? is that what’s supposed to happen before it gets better ?????
No that's not supposed to happen. I would try the ivermectin. I don't think oil will work at that point.
So you do not put it in the ears? Would it hurt them if you put the Ivermectin drops in the ears?
No it wouldn't hurt them. You could do a couple drops in there.
The bunny's can clean there ears, might not be good for them to injest accidentally?.
Question, can i use ivermectin on the young ones? Say 2 or 3 months old?
Yes you sure can. 6 weeks and older
How many days will it take to remove the ear mites ?
Depends on how bad the mites are. Using oil it takes a few days. If you use the ivermectin it works super fast. And you can always do another dose in about 10 days to kill anything left over.
Can I treat pregnant does with Ivermectin
Yes you can.
Can this be given orally? My bunny Quinn has patches in different spots along his back...
NO. This kind is not for oral use. You can squirt a line down his back and it will quickly take care of them. And also use ivermectiin PASTE a half a pea size orally.
Can you possibly use this same treatment on your cats ( the blue stuff)
Yes you can.
Do you know if the Ivermectin drops can be used on cats? I constantly have problems with ear mites in my outdoor cats.
Yes it can.
Thanks for this information. Have a nice day. 😊
do you know if it has to be virgin coconut oil? o
It does not have to be no. Just any kind is fine.

The link in the description doesn't work ☹️
Yes they stopped really selling it online cause stupid people thought it would cure covid!!!!! But tractor supply sells it
Does this kill fleas to?????
No it is not for fleas
No it does not

I read somewhere that the paste is easily overdosed on rabbits as it can’t be measured as easily as the liquid.
@@beardsbountifulbunnies1655if they're close to butcher just let them suffer. Got it
My bunny hv fur mites dtoo small uh can't dm esly..my bunny is mini lop age 4 month may i use dis medicine on his fur?
