does anyone know if this stuff works in eradicting fur mites, fur mange etc or is it just a preventative??

not for me but have a feeling this bun that has it wont be going to the vet :( i have some in the cupboard so was wondering if I could use it on this bunny if I conviently went round :wink:
 
Is it Xenex (or another permethrin based one?) If so, yes, it does kill them as well. My pack says it kills them for up to 2 weeks, so I guess it would also take a good environment clean to make sure they aren't hanging around in the hutch as well. Do you have the dosage instructions there, I think you have to be relatively accurate on the weight. It's also highly toxic to cats so don't let them treat any cat they may have as well!
 
Hi Alison,

its not xenex, it says on the box 'anti-paraste spot on' and its made by beaphar

the dosage is one pippette per 750g body weight (not sure what dosage that will be as apparently this bun is a frenchie :? )

its says on the box that it contains ivermectin and is effective against lice, mange mites, other mites and roundworm. it will continue to be effective for up to four weeks from the day of treatment
 
I used Advantage Spot On for Princess when she had cheytiella, worked a treat :) The Spot On stuff you have would prob work just as well.
 
thanks everyone :D the bunny is going to the vets which by the sounds of it, he needs as he has a bald patch and abit scabby :( :(

I brought it though as a preventative measure but not sure whether to use it or not :?
 
I've just bought some of that stuff for my rabbits too. If it helps I have three rabbits and two have been weighed before. Rosie is a Polish (small breed) she was weighed at the vets as 1.3kg, Honey a rex (large breed?) was 3.2kg but apparently slightly overweight at the time. It says on the box to put it in a dot in between the shoulders on their back but I sort of made a parting down the middle of their backs and put the stuff all the way down in a line.
