Does vegetable oil really work to get rid of mites on my rabbit?

Your rabbit likely has a mite infection. Stop the tea tree oil (it causes more problems) and you need to get him to a vet for an injection against mites. If you cannot go to a veterinarian , try to contact your local rabbit society, They may be able to help you.

The best treatment for mites in Rabbits is Ivermectin drops, you might be able to find them over the counter in pet shops, otherwise at the vet's. regarding the bedding i would recommend throwing away everything you can and washing very well in high temperature everything you cannot.

Thanks for reaching out about Moyel. Benzyl benzoate would not be good if ingested. Try topical aloe vera 100%. Pain medications from the veterinarian might also provide some comfort. Ivermectin is the appropriate treatment for mites but could there also be a secondary bacterial infection? Good luck.

Rabbits can be treated for mites with ivermectin or revolution. I would however recommend taking Olaf to another vet to get the proper dosing. You do need to clean the cage every day for a least 1-2 weeks to help prevent re contamination from the mites. I hope that helps

Thanks for reaching out again and including photos. Having difficulty finding this product on-line, so that you can be advised, so not sure if it is safe in rabbits. It is also not legal for us to recommended or prescribe medications over the internet. Call a local veterinarian and ask them. Good luck.

Sometimes mites can be transmitted by commercial store-bought food or hay. You will need to take your rabbit to a veterinarian for an exam and proper diagnosis. The vet can then inject your rabbit with an acaricide that will get rid of the mites. You will also have to clean out thee cage thoroughly, wash it with bleach and rinse it well, and wash all toys and food and water containers in very hot water. Throw away the food and hay you have and buy new food with a long expiration date.

If you're unsure of the type of parasite causing issues for Theodore, it is best to seek veterinary care to have any of the mites/bites examined and parasite type found. There are safe topical flea medications available for rabbits through your vet such as advantage and revolution that can help prevent fleas and mites, and your vet can also use a special type of lamp to check the area for ringworm. If you do see fleas, you can use a fine-toothed comb and a gentle bath with Dawn dish soap to kill/suffocate fleas and safely remove them without chemicals.
