I saw this on Bobbi Porto's website
"The following comments are from web chats:
A while back I took my Frizzle Rooster to my Avian vet for a pedicure,
because his spurs were sooooo HUGE, I was afraid to cut them...Filing
would have been futile.
She said he had mites. I said IMPOSSIBLE!
She scraped his scaly feet and under the microscope, showed me the
creepy crawly gross, crab like yucky's. At the time, I didn't think scaly
feet had anything to do with mites. And because they can’t be seen with
the naked eye....who'd have thunk it? Momma Frizzle had scaly feet, too.
Anyway, her prescription:
4 CC/ML Ivermectin (INJECTABLE) in ONE gallon of water, 3 days,
repeat in 14 days. No other source of water should be provided.
Their feet, looked like new born baby feet after about a week. The scale
just disappeared.
Vet also said that if they have any mites of their body's they would bite
and die from the Ivermectin.
Same treatment for Coccidia, by the way."
Does anyone know if the dosage listed above for is good enough for a complete worming too?? If I am going to be without eggs for a month I want to make sure everything gets treated
Question about Treatment of Lice and Worms
It should worm them and kill lice as well. Great stuff Ivermectin!
Guess heat or not I have to do something now since I am seeing Lice/mites for sure
Thanks PP
I wonder how wormer can cure cocci? That's weird!
I was thinking the same thing ZZ. I thought it was bacterial
Coccidiosis is caused by a protozoan, but nevertheless my Merck manual does not list Ivermectin as a treatment...
I know chicken houses around here sometimes use Ivermectin for worms but use Corid for coccidiosis. I have always used Ivermectin for worms because it also kills lice and mites. They are now finding it only kills 62% of worms in cattle and most vets and now using something else. I went to our vet and asked for a 50ml. bottle and he sold me a 500ml. for a 50ml price, looks like I am set for years to come.
wow lucky you Ken
