The rabbitry gets standard 2x yearly preventative Ivermectin. It's due again in about 1.5 months.
Last night I noticed a couple of 8 week olds scratching, so I thought today I'd just do the preventative a little early, just in case.
But today when I went out to prep for that, I noticed an older junior sneezed 4x and a bred doe sneezed a few times (no other symptoms), PLUS one of the 8 week kits has what looks similar to an almost scabbing pea size bite mark in the center of his back over his shoulders. It looked like the tiny patch of fur had been cut straight across with scissors.
The bred doe was in the same area as show rabbits very recently.
There's no flies in the rabbitry.
There's been no diet changes or moves, although they did sneeze after I moved around some dusty items.
How would you proceed?
On hand I have the Ivermectin, Duramycin-10 water soluble, Vetericyn ophthalmic, VetRx, and some other typical med box items.
