It's concerning that the vet said he "most likely" has mites. Mites are something your vet should've done a skin scrape for to properly confirm as treatment for mites is something that should only ever be used with a confirmed outbreak of mites for a variety of reasons - never as a just in case thing or without a proper skin scrape to prove an outbreak is even there!
