I picked up some fosters last Sunday and both are suffering from a bad infestation of mites. Basically picture a very handsome strawberry blond rat, and then imagine his back end looks like Freddy Krueger's butt cheek and you have a decent idea of what my foster Thor looks like.
No matter how many precautions I took, anything short of a hazmat suit was gonna land me with my own little colony of skin munchers. As much as it irritates me, I can only imagine how bad it must feel for these boys. Thor cries out in pain any time he tries to groom himself. Loki kinda just stays curled up in a sad ball and looks at you like he's begging you to make it stop.

Luckily I have kitten flea and tick shampoo to help alleviate the infestation both in myself and in the boys.
The vet gave them a dose of ivermectin and its been a huge relief. I've ordered myself a medicated soap that should come in soon... really tempted to try getting horrifically drunk to see if I can make my body incompatible to these little parasites. I've been joking that I've put some much steroid cream on the worst rashes that the mites have opened up a gym and are busy getting swol.
