Okay, someone tell me to calm down.
Oliver is gaining a bit of weight slowly. It's hard for me to tell how much hay he eats, since it's in a pile, but I assume by his weight he is eating enough. He got dose #2 of ivermectin tonight. Yesterday and today both I saw him sitting "fluffy" in his cage. As soon as I pet him he runs around like normal, and I've only seen it twice... but still. I petrified he has a stone. He has no other symptoms but the double-fluffy-sit, but given my luck lately I'm not very positive.
I'm wondering if this could be from the *possibly suspected* mites? He has been scratching quite a bit tonight, in many different places, and when he's eating, he will "jump" a bit and squint his eyes, then start scratching. Then is fine. Would the mites still be around after the first treatment?
Worried mama. :-(
P.s. I can't bring myself to make a med thread for him.

I've seen globs that size in Mozzie's fur before. Usually a nice hard ball of it right against the skin. Hope you got it up off your carpet right away!
