Oh wow, I'd never guessed mites either. So glad to hear they are being treated and on their way to recovery.

That would have driven me crazy too Lorraine. How strange!

There are different types of mites actually; some skin mites can cause mange They are nasty little buggers and nearly impossible to see with the naked eye since they are TIIINY and live underneath the skin in your hair follicles.

I didn't join in on this early but I'm glad that you got a proper diagnosis and that they're well on the road to recovery. What a mind bender!

When I first saw the picture I assumed mites, and as I read on I saw I was right. Only because we just went through all of this - oh what fun you are in for!! - -


You too must be careful, if it is ringworm, then you too can catch it. It stays airborne for up to a year!! - -


If you look back into my threads, you will get a lot of information from everyone here. Every one was extremly helpful to me during my infestation.


Off the top of my head: WASH your hands a LOT! ; do your laundry in hot water; wash all pets beds, blanekts, etc. ; try to keep the infected animals away from the non-infected ones (yeah right, I know...) ; and did I mention.....wash your hands??!!!

Have fun, and good luck!

OOPS!!! I missed the eventual diagnosis!!! I'm glad that things are going better...poor babies!
