How can I find my old pictures?

Hi

I have a hen who appeared to have scaly leg mites.(7 year old cream legbar)

Treated with Ivermectin  drops on skin.

After 2 weekly doses, she is lethargic and has yellow runny droppings.

Am taking to vet at 6pm.

Can it be the Ivermectin ???

For Info.

 

Ivermectin used to be used in dogs, but NOT in Collies as they are allergic.

Vet believes my hen is allergic - she's not an avian specialist so couldn't say if it just this specific hen or this specific breed - but I certainly won't be using it on ANY hen ever again. Lots of sites suggest using Ivermectin with no mention of possible side effects - but if you google Ivermectin and side-effects, its all there.

We're hopeful that she'll work it out of her system and make a full recovery. Fingers (and everything else) crossed.

Thanks for letting us know, its a new one on me.  Did the vet recommend something else instead for the future?

My cat is allergic to ivermectin too. I have to be careful I don’t have it on my fingers/hands after I’ve done the chickens. It’s very rare though.

my cat gets neurological issues, like uncontrollable muscle movement in her face.

Hopefully she should recover soon now that you have stopped using it xx
