Assuming it is mites, and the xeno 50 is working, how soon might I see an improvement? I'm just wondering when I should start thinking about taking him to the vet again? I think the thing I'm struggling with and what bothers me is the way the patch just seemed to appear overnight. It just seems weird.

On the positive side, he still seems active and eating and drinking well, and alert.

Is your vet surgery still under covid restrictions?

I took a hamster to the vet this week and was allowed into the consulting room. They should at least have had a chat with you where you could have asked questions like when/if your hamster needs to come back for a follow up appointment.

I'd phone them and ask what you need to know.
