My cob has rubbed herself raw this week with feather mites. Her legs are totally clipped out, I've taken her off straw bedding and I've been using pig oil and sulpher - all to no avail. It's been getting worse over the last few weeks and is now causing her distress.
I'm planning to call my vet in the morning and discuss having dectomax injections and I was wondering what other peoples' experiences were? How much do they cost, how effective are they, how long do the results last? I know it is 2 injections about 10 days apart and its not formally licenced for mites. I tried double dosing with ivermectin wormer last year and this helped but I want to try and get this resolved properly as my poor girl is suffering.
Thanks in advance.........
