    Rat Vet - RIP Nermal the rat - thanks for the help

    Sorry to say our sweet little rat passed on early this morning. As always, it's nice to have BYC support -- what a great group of people. I will keep the Garden Grove vet recommendation for the future. Thank you very much.

    Quote: What was the name of the OTC medication for scabies? There is permethrin cream, but as far as I know it's not OTC, at least not in the US.

    So I used the ivermectin pour on on the two silkies, one drop on the skin back of neck. One recovered very quickly (she had already quit the nest & I think the exercise & fresh air helped too). The other's face still looks bad. I retreated her after 4-5 days and it didn't help. She hatched...

    Looks like ivomec eprinex pour on 1 drop on nape of neck should do the trick -- anyone know if you can get that at a feed store?

    Thanks for the tip about face mites - I took that & found this article http://www.cheboygancoop.com/animalscience/pets/vm02200.pdf which seems to describe what they have. Apparently it's due to a mite, Knemidocoptes mutans, and the treatment of choice is ivermectin. Can you get ivermectin...

    I have twin black silkies who have been sitting on a nest together for about 3 weeks (they've had eggs for 2 wk). In the last few days I noticed they have a scaly, crusty rash around their eyes & ear lobe. They try to scratch at it. The rest of my flock seems fine.

    Do you need a new rooster for your hen yard? Here are 3 gorgeous offerings. The black one, 3rd pic, has beautiful pink, purple & green iridescence, and he's nowhere near his full glory yet. All about 18-24 wk old. I can eat them myself so offering them only as a keeper. -
