I cant touch them anymore but they will let me hand feed them and they will sit next to me.
I have been told ivermectin paste the size of a grain of rice on a nut which is fine but it makes me nervous giving it to him that it will make him sick . My question is if it's not mange can treating him for it hurt him?
I have also been told revolution how is that given if he isn't touchable? I can order some but it will be a while before it arrives.
And the one thing I do have on hand now is capstar will that kill mange and how is it given ?
I could put some on nutella or they do like benebac.
Capstar will not treat mange.
Treating for mange/ not being mange will not hurt.
Not a fan of the use of ivermectin, Revolution is my personal preference for treating mange.
Ivermectin has been used by many members. Applied as you stated the size of a grain of
(uncooked) rice or what would amount to placement in this > o
