&lt;p&gt;Major &amp;#39;dandruff&amp;#39; is not normal even if the skin looks OK.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No symptoms, I doubt I would have looked for parasites anyway.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ear mites absolutely need treating.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Fur mites - rabbits (+demodex in dogs)</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/225929?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 15 Oct 2020 07:40:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:86e0228a-3281-41f6-bb40-bf7d87f7e711</guid><dc:creator>Roland Bulkyn-Rackowe</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m not too excited by Leporacarus (was Listrophorus) mites and would see those as pretty much commensals. I can&amp;#39;t remember a time when I&amp;#39;ve been concerned enough to treat these. I probably would treat cheyletiella on the affected rabbit and in contacts, sometimes the skin does seem pretty sore. I would definitely treat ear mites!&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
