Same here or injectible applied topically. Topical ivermectin is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream if applied correctly (i.e. in a place where it won't run off and won't just evaporate from the fur) and can combat several types of lice as well as mites. Because lice don't feed from the bloodstream, oral ivermectin is ineffective.
As for the CCT I won't make much of a comment on them other than to say the founder has a load of letters after her name that represent "qualifications" she invented. While I don't doubt they do a lot to educate vets, I don't always trust their judgement.
