Claireabella Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Sorry to bring up this topic again! I found lice on a couple of my hens again yesterday (I'm blaming all the pigeons that keep visiting my garden ); they were treated about four months ago so probably due to be treated again now anyway. My question is, can I treat for lice using a spot on while Bluebell is regrowing feathers? It wasn't Bluebell I found them on but I'm guessing if some of the others have them then she's probably got a few of her own too. I know it's probably not ideal to treat while she's growing new feathers but would perhaps be better than having the irritation of lice?

Pottage Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 My nuddy ex-batts were treated with Ivemectin a week after we got them, didn't seem to to them any harm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claireabella Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Thank you, just needed a bit of reassurance! I've used the spot on treatment before, it was prescribed by the vet. I'll go ahead and treat later when I have an extra pair of hands to help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
