    How did you get rid of the mites?

    Do you refute your temperture?

    Was there some sort of guarentee from the pet store? Because if there was the first thing I would have done is bring in back because of the mites.

    Now if you are really concern you should take your animal to a vet, you need to determine if it is time for questions on q forum or time for a vet.
