sandyhas3chucks Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Did I read it in a post or just assume? Either way am I right in thnking that the various spot ons and frontline spray are ineffective in this mite? Or were folks simply preferiing to go the "more natural" route?

quickcluck Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 No luck with the neem/sulphur sandy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyhas3chucks Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 yes and no, I hadn't realised that 2 needed more treatment. Difficult with one very disabled and having 2 poorlies, and one needing watching what she is eating due to overlaying. One isn't bad, just her shoulders , the other I thought was ok, actually has loads of new feathers but they are brittle & snapping, (they happen to be pals & share an Eglu, there is NO sign of anything else at all moving.) But was really asking for clarity when suggesting to others. Both of them I really would rather not bath unless I have to, & the direct method worked best with my stunningly beautifulnow fully featherd girl!

quickcluck Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 is the direct method the sulphur mixed with cream??? I bathed mine in neem aid, but without any success Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyhas3chucks Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 I bathed in neem oil, There was for sure oil all over feathers for many days, covered in dust very attractively. You can bath in pet shampoo with natural permithrien and FOS but Yes direct is either FOS mixed with cream, or neem oil , both directly applied to bald/sore patches. Any redness seems to go in seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
