Mites on rabbits
2 Answers
My rabbit has a bad infestation of mites and I am going to take him to the vet. BUT I have read all kinds of horror stories on the internet about how vets don't know much about rabbits and inject them with the wrong mite killer so as the rabbit dies. I don't want this to happen as I love my rabbit . Is there some magic cure that I can use on him without risking a vet who doesn't know about rabbits.
