Ann and April, my three month old greys, both have some crusting on the edges of their ears. I thought it might be some dried milk or something, but I know my squirrels are fastidious, and this is a day later after noticing it. They are in a large cage I use for acclimating them to the outdoors, but I have only been putting them out for an hour or three in the morning, but I suppose that's still enough time for them to pickup hitch hikers? Josh and I are on our way to TSC and Pet Supermarket. I'm hoping I can find some Revolution without needing a prescription, but I know that's unlikely. Is there a specific kind of Ivermectin I should get if no Revolution?

1.87% Ivermectin paste. It can be purchased most any place that sells products for livestock, horses, cows and such.
Farm stores, Tractor Supply, ect.

Okay! We are at TSC and found a brand called Bimectin for horses.

Is there a thread with dosage instructions?

Since (most) dosing is done through pm's not sure there would be.
I have not used the paste but many others have with success.
I've heard you use the amount of an uncooked grain of rice, I've read
that the dose is just the amount needed to fill this "O".
I would suggest you pm Crittermom, I believe she can tell you how to
prepare the tube and properly dose.
