I will try both. I figured I'd try dawn as it is used to smother fleas, which breath similarly to mites. Also, apparently, the mites hate it so they crawl out and fall into the water. I used a blunt probe to gently remove the mites around his eye, and I killed like 12 of the blood sucking freaks. I will continue to monitor him throughout the day and kill any mites I see. Please let me know if you guys have any other suggestions.
