Egluntyne Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) Called in at the vets today to ask if they would give me prescription for some Frontline spray for the Ex-batts I'm going to adopt. I thought they might not be prepared to...sight unseen, so to speak. Anyroad up, the vet said that **Xeno 200** was much better and that she would be very happy to let me take some. It contains Ivermectin. Egg withdrawal 7 days. Also she said if you get Red Mite in the hen house, the very best treatment is **RIP Flea Treatment** She them went on to say that you can now get these amazing little plastic houses called Eglus.....and that she was thinking of buying one.!!! I thought I'd mention these products as I don't remember hearing about them before on the forum. Edited February 22, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Reading about the Xeno 200, it sounds just like the Ivomec Eprinex* that I use. Except that mine is used with a dropper. *not licenced for use on poultry in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 It does sound similar,doesn't it? Since going over to the dropper treatment of Eprinex Ivomec (not licenced for use on poultry in the UK), my life has been made much easier. It may treat worms too, which is always a good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
