Is here an forceful altrenative to an ivermectin injection for rabbits?

Hi I have taken my rabbit to the vet because his fur is falling out and they have said that if it hasnt grown support in a week or so he will call for to have ivermectin injections. (his skin is hugely flaky also). I had given him a treatment of 'spot on', containing ivermectin and the vet said its a skin condition to some extent than mites.

We dont have a great deal of money and the injections sound expensive (the vet said he would inevitability 3); does anyone know of an effective treatment that can be bought from a petshop/over the counter? any constructive suggestion would be much appreciated, thanks


Answers:    Ask your vet more or less a product called Revolution. It's commonly used for dogs and cats/kittens, but surrounded by small doses can be used on many small animals.
Never use an inside-treatment for outside vermin! D:

However, if he simply has dry, ailing skin you can try a variety of things, including accumulation flax seed to the food, or vitamin e drops to his hose down supply. =) Or even putting a drop or two of vitamin e directly on to his skin. Only use a little bit though! A greasy rabbit can be intricate (and unpleasant) to handle. :P
Without knowing what the problem is it's thorny to say, but ivermectin injections aren't that expensive really, I have to have my boa injected twice near it to get rid of skin mites.

I would try a second vet assessment though, ivermectin is typically only used as a remedy for vermin, I'm not sure why the vet would suggest ivermectin for a non-parasitic problem.
You can purchase Ivermectin and do it yourself.
Some paratic conditions do cause skin problems and fuzz will fall out departing patches of exposed skin inflamed and damp.
