used the diluted horse paste ivermectin and followed the directions, and she is doing good however since I gave her the dose she seems to be itching MORE and a little more aggitated about it...Could it be side effect, allergy the mites dying off. ?? she is not breaking the skin...just more itchy and aggitated
Does it take all 3 doses before they feel better or is it more like a human taking antibiotics where they tell you that you will feel better in a few days but to continue to the treatment anyways?
Also I have had her 4 wks going on 5ish? When I got her she would loose black and white flecks when stressed or brushed touched. mild itchy and sensitive on the rear.
I gave her a soak with some coconut oil and small animal shampoo, cleaned her ears that fixed the black specs I think it was dry skin and crud in her ears. (she had been checked by a vet at the same time, who was not helpful but not concerned i guess) but I still notice the tiny white specs...no moving anything no lice bugs or scabs just tiny white specs..I would think in 4-5 weeks if the specs were lice/nits I would see some lice on her by now?
P.s. I did my first nail trim on her myself
when I got her her nails were wrapped all the way under and the quicks were longer than normal due to the length...so the vets did the first two trims to help quick her back a bit and help me out! YEAH ME!!
