Abstract

The fur mite is a highly contagious zoonotic mite that causes skin disorders in rabbits. In this case report, four rabbits with a fur mite infestation were treated with a single dermal application of permethrin (65%) at a dose of 0.1 ml. All the rabbits were treated successfully with permethrin without any adverse reactions at 8 weeks after treatment. This suggests that permethrin is an effective treatment for fur mite infestations in rabbits.
