Good Morning everyone
I found this forum after looking for reasons why my squirrels were losing their fur on their tails and what I could do to help them. I went to tractor supply and got the ivermectin paste and started treating them. Most difficult part is making sure you don't treat the same one twice in less than a 7 to 10 day treatment span. Thanks for letting me join

:Welcome Donna, from IR in downstate NY. :wave123 :grin2 Glad you found us.
How are you dosing the ivermectin paste? Just a caution to be very very careful because ivermec overdose can be fatal. Are these wild babies you are treating, or rehab squirrels at your home?

They are wildlife and yes of course. A treatment
Of about the size of a grain of uncooked rice in a 7 to10 day time span. Thanks for responding.

The time span is 10-14 days according to the Wild Mammal Babies book.
