I have used this stuff in the past and is a very potent product not to be used lightly. It wouldn't make a good mite killer since you can't dip the entire bird in it. LOL But it works well for spot treatments of skin bacteria, fungus or ringworms. It stinks to high heaven and you HAVE to use...

That doesn't look like mites. This could be molting, aggression from another bird or she is chewing them off her self due to dietary issues or stress. If she continues to chew off feathers all over her body and strips feathers clean leaving just the shaft in various places all over her body...

Kathy, isn't there something like Ivomec?? that is applied differently? I thought I read a thread here once that these two Pour Ons differ? I may just be confusing this with something else. It has been a long time since I read that thread and I am not going to go digging for it. LOL

Kathy, thanks so much for this vote of confidence! Using my birds as guinea pigs is never easy to do since you take risks using drugs on them. So I am happy to know I probably caused no harm. I used the 5mg per mL stuff. I know there is another type of Cattle Pour On? My birds very in weights...

@JensChickies I had to make my own judgement on this as my vet was knowledgeable enough about these mites, but I don't think he knew enough about treating them. He had suggested just one dose of the Cattle Pour On behind the neck. I have large breeds and put 5 drops directly on the skin on the...

Oh and one other thing. :-) One of the symptoms of Depluming Mites can be seen on the feather itself. If you have ever seen horizontal thin bars on the tail feathers or primaries...looks like very tiny pin holes horizontally across the feather....there may be several of these lines up and down...

Interesting stuff I learned about Depluming mites from my poultry vet today. :-) I always thought these mites were pretty rare in poultry, but it turns out they are actually quite common. They only seem rare because like other parasites, the birds learn to control Depluming Mites. If the bird...

Thank you Kathy, this is what I was looking for! I will read this over and take the action needed. :-)

Thanks Kathy. My concern is will the Paste get into the blood stream as efficiently as the Pour On. Or is much of it wasted going through the birds system orally?

Depluming mites. I have only read about using the Ivermectin Pour On for these mites, but was wondering if the paste will work too. I have paste and just ordered the Pour On but if the paste will work, I could go ahead and use this first so I don't have to wait on the Pour On. Then use the Pour...

I may be dealing with feather shaft mites...the ones that live their entire lives inside the shaft of the feather.

Ivermectin....Paste vs Pour On for Quill Mites... which one of these is more effective? I realize pour on is going to get into the blood stream faster and easier, however will the paste work as well?
