Complete healing of infested ears was noticed in rabbits treated with tulsi oil and ivermectin, but healing was most rapid in tulsi oil treated rabbits than those treated with ivermectin. The crusts in the ear disappeared within one week and regrowth of hair was noticed in tulsi oil treated rabbits. In ivermectin treated rabbits, lesions persisted after one week of treatment and hair growth was also delayed.enVeterinary ScienceArticle
