When my pet rat got mites, I got a shampoo from my vet called Mycodex. It comes in a green, blue and white bottle. I don't think you can buy it at a pet store, but I don't think you need a prescription to get it from your vet either. It's for cats, dogs, etc., so you don't need to tell your vet what it's for . . . :-) Call a vet and ask if they have it or something similar. Mycodex was for body and ear mites. It worked on the rat! Good luck. --Sarah [Posted in FML issue 0461]
