More information on mites and lice

Where do mites come from?

Some common ways that mites can enter a pet’s living space include:

• Mites can easily transfer from one animal to another through close contact and shared living spaces.
• Mites can be present in soil, bedding, and other materials, and can be introduced to a pet’s living space through these materials.
• Mites can be carried on clothing, shoes, or other items, and can be transferred to pets through human contact.
• Pet stores or breeders may unknowingly sell pets that have mites or may also have been exposed to mites.

How can I help to prevent mite infestations

Preventing mites from infesting your pets can be achieved by following these tips:

• Regularly clean your pet’s cage or living space and replace bedding or litter frequently. Mites can thrive in dirty and cluttered environments, so keeping your pet’s space clean can help to prevent an infestation.
• Preventative treatments will help to prevent mites from infesting your pets.
• If you are introducing a new pet into your household, it is important to quarantine them for a period before introducing them to your other pets. This will help to prevent the spread of any potential mites or other parasites.
• Regular grooming, including brushing, can help to remove mites and their eggs from your pet’s fur or feathers.

 How can I tell if my pet has mites

Some common signs to look for include:

• One of the most common signs of a mite infestation is excessive itching or scratching. This may be especially noticeable around the ears, face, neck, tail,.
• Mites can cause redness, irritation, or inflammation on the skin or in the ears. In severe cases, these symptoms may lead to hair loss, scabs, or crusty lesions.
• Some mite infestations can cause dry, flaky skin or dandruff.
• Mite infestations can be uncomfortable or painful for your pet, leading to changes in behavior, such as restlessness, lethargy, or aggression.
• In some cases, you may be able to see the mites themselves, especially if they are present in large numbers. However, some mites are too small to see with the naked eye.

 What should I do if my pet has mites

The treatment for mites will depend on the type of mite and the severity of the infestation. Some general treatment options include:

• Many mite infestations can be treated with a topical medication, such as a spot-on treatment, these medications are applied directly to the skin or fur and work to kill the mites and their eggs.
• In some cases, oral medications may be prescribed to treat mite infestations. These medications work to kill the mites from the inside out and are also typically used for more severe infestations.
• To prevent re-infestation, it is important to treat the environment where your pet lives. This may include cleaning bedding and litter, vacuuming carpets and upholstery.

If symptoms persist, seek advice from a veterinary professional.
