Sounds like an allergic reaction to me from either the wormer or the frontline. Just speculating...

He hadn't been given any worker at that time. And the frontline was applied 2 weeks prior to the reaction. It does resemble an allergic reaction I suppose, but I can't think of anything that had JUST been applied.

a reaction would have happened much faster and if i hasn't already gotten rid of the lice it ain't gonna, justsayen
i would go ahead and treat him with 1cc ivermec split and applied tot the tail area and in between the shoulders.

I am afraid of that. My thought was that since he used the spray, maybe it didn't get to the skin. When I spoke to my vet he said that Ivermectin wouldn't work on biting lice very well, just sucking lice. I did spray him with permethrin and put Sevin dust in his bedding. Do you think I should treat with ivermectin too?

I guess I need an education on lice. Wouldn't a lice have to bite to suck?

I wish I had thought of splitting the Ivermec before I did all my peas last week. I know that the common suggestion on these threads is one cc/ml but after consulting with Kathy the other day about my chicks, one cc/ml may be overkill. Is there a danger of using that much twice a year? I called my vet about it and her assistant called back saying six drops. I asked if that was what the vet said and she said "No, that is what I found on BYC'. Go figure.

Yes but if they have not bit and sucked blood after 2 week most would already be dead and Hannah stated he was covered

No, that was not what I meant. Hannas vet told her that it would not work on biting lice very well, just sucking lice. My question is what is the difference when a sucking lice has to bite first.
