Hello, ive notices charlie and gracie have been a bit itchy this last few days and have bought some beaphar spot on but am too scared to use it.

Is it ok to use it on them both together at the same time? im a bit concerned as they groom one another they may ingest it?

I cant find any actual mites or fleas but a small amount of what looks like dry skin flakes on charlies back, any one have any advice as to whether they can be treated at the same time? xxxxxxx

Hiya Julie.
I think maybe take the stuff back and get some Xeno450.
Sounds like Charlie boy has mites...Not surprised..hes had it rough of late.xxxx
 
I used Beaphar on my piggies and it cleared up their mites straight away :wave:

might be worth checking with the vet first to make sure it isn't a fungal skin infection though. But Beaphar is cheaper and more effective than the injection the vets use

Should be fine, is it definitely the one for rabbits and piggies? :wave: It must be designed to be ok if it's groomed off, even a single bun would groom it off himself!

Don't be scared :) I used it a couple of times when I first got my piggies and it was fine xx
 
I`v used it before on my piggies and on penny. i think it`s realy good stuff. i keep some in my cupboard just incase.:wave:
 
Beapher spot on is fine and safe to use..it is Ivermectin which is what most vets would prescribe you for bunny mites..but charge you a lot more

Bob Martins spot on I wouldn't recommend..it contains a different drug and I have found it not as effective
 
When I Frontline Molly the cat I do Louie at the same time, with the Beaphar :D

Not had any problems with it at all :wave:
 
Thank you everyone, both buns are doing fine and NO scratching from charlie today, the beaphar has done the trick.:D xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
