kvalster!
Sorry for the English, but I don't have time to translate well.
I recently moved to Sweden from the US and we have two male rats here. They have developed mites and I do not know what to do! I would like to take them to the vet but we have a baby due in 23 days and would like to save as much money as possible. Is there any kind of over the counter medicine I can buy for these little guys? In the USA we can use horse dewormers such as ivermectin to clear up the mites and I have used them with great success but when my fiance went to the store they said that we need a prescription for those things. Thanks!

Most effective substances need a prescription from the vet.
The most usual thing you get when you have mites (often scabmites) is Stronghold but this too needs trip to the vet.
There are some medicines/substances that doesn't demands a description but those aren't as effective and I haven't used any myself so I don't really know any good ones, I always use Stronghold.
If you look in the Articles and VSHR Ohyra you might find something (not sure though, was a while ago I looked at that one)

If your vet doesnt accept that you want stronghold you can get prescription free one called Frontline - many vets are afraid that mites will get resistant and doesnt want to prescribe stronghold due to that
Thanks! We have Frontline in the US as well but its by Prescription only there I believe!
