Eight New Zealand white rabbits were presented with clinical signs of pruritus, alopecia, scab and crust formation and lichenification initially on upper lip which later extended to full face, ear pinnae, eyelids, lower jaw and limbs. Skin scrapping revealed mixed infestations of Sarcoptes cuniculi and Psoroptes cuniculi. Subcutaneous injection of ivermectin at weekly intervals for four weeks resulted in remission of clinical signs and improvement.
