mites?

Now that I now Ocean has RMSF and is being treated appropriately, I am wondering about the hair loss around the right eye, most likely due to mites. How are mites treated? Is there an OTC remedy? The vet bills this month have been staggering; if I have to take her back AGAIN I will, but I wondered about an OTC treatment.

You vet needs to do a skin scraping to test for mites, I wouldn't go treating for mites unless mites are the problem.
