Cute oily rats. It's great the treatment is working.

so oil is working for mites? or are you finding it's ok to use UNTIL you can get to the vet?

It seems to have completely cured one of them, and nearly cured the other. I plan to look at Specter, who still has a few scabs, on wednesday, and if he isnt completely well, he'll be going to the vet with his brother on thursday.

It never cured the infestation my personal rats had, but it's fantastic that it's working for your ratties! :thumbup: I think our situations were a bit different in that Osiris has always had a compromised immune system - he was the worst. Everyone else was relatively fine. Had to get Ivermectin to squash the bugs.
