Such kind thanks, again, Banana! It's actually Ivermectin "Spot-on Treatment, which is the drops that are applied to the skin behind the neck and absorbed into the system through there. I would definitely not want to risk any side effects such as harming the liver, so I will follow the...
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful response, Banana01! I'm sorry, I failed to mention that my bird is a male pigeon. :) This is what I meant about him spending time outdoors with a wild, untreated flock. As pigeons love flying, mine has become accustomed to flying off with whom he...
Thank you again so kindly! Would you know, or can anyone please share their knowledge as to how long Ivermectin, whether sprayed on or dropped on the skin, will remain effective against killing mites that bite my bird before it wears off from his system and next treatment should be repeated...
How often can Ivermectin drops behind the neck be repeated? My bird sleeps indoors wih me but spends every morning mingling with wild birds who no doubt transfer new mites to him daily. How long will Ivermectin pour-on continue to kill new biting mites before it becomes ineffective in his...
Can anyone speak to HOW LONG Ivermectin's mite-killing effects last in the bird's system following every treatment? How long before it wears off and retreatment is advisable?
Thank you again! How often can the birds be sprayed? Wondering if every other day would be okay, since my bird spends each morning outdoors with wild untreated birds who no doubt transfer new mites to him.
Thanks so much for the warm welcome! Yes. My pigeon definitely has bird mites. He sleeps indoors with me but spends mornings and afternoons outdoors with a wild untreated flock. Looking for a solution to keep him protected from new mites he will inevitably be exposed to every day. Would you know...
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond, Redbrew! If my bird were based strictly indoors, I'm sure every 3 weeks of Ivermectin drops would be sufficient. Tricky situation that he enjoys spending time with the outdoor flocks, but I know he would be unhappy if I forced him to stay...
Hello, all! I know this forum is for chickens, but I desperately need help/advice for Ivermectin treatment to kill mites on mybpigeon. I'm hoping treatment for pigeons is essentially the same as chickens. If my pet bird (a rock pigeon) spends time around a flock of untreated wild birds every...
Hello, all! I know this forum is for chickens, but I'm hoping treatment for pigeons is essentially the same. If my pet bird (a rock pigeon) spends time around a flock of untreated birds every morning and is therefore exposed to new mites daily, would Ivermectin drops onto the skin still help...

If my pet bird (a rock pigeon) spends time around a flock of untreated birds every morning and is therefore exposed to new mites daily, would Ivermectin drops onto the skin still help keep mites from surviving on him? How often may I repeat the treatment considering his unusual case of spending...
Hi there! How often should my bird be treated with Spot-on Ivermectin behind the neck, on the skin, if my aim is to keep him constantly mite-free? He spends the mornings with a wild flock of untreated outdoor birds but sleeps indoors with me every night. How long will Ivermectin be effective at...
I know this thread is for chickens, but I'm hoping someone can help lend advice for my pigeon, as I believe Ivermectin for poultry and pigeons is the same in essence. I have a pigeon who sleeps indoors with me every night, but he spends every morning through afternoon with an outdoor wild flock...
