She had lice in the past and I had to resort to human lice shampoo, it worked very well (after failed attempts with dog lice treatment). We took in an injured owl, but it had mites and they managed...

    I'm no expert, only advice I can think of is to keep the chick warm, under heat if it isn't already. I hope all goes well.

    I can't figure out what's wrong with my Silkie?

    Lice? human shampoo??? *help please!*

    I don't think she knew she had lice, infact I had no idea. When I bought her I inspected her and saw NOTHING. she seemed perfectly healthy. It wasn't until the night of that day they started to emerge..thousands. I think the ivermectin scared them out of the inner feathers or something..
