I brought home a bantam that has lice. (no mites)
I have read on another post to treat with ivermectin but that it won't work on lice that eats feather dander??
How do you know what lice you have- I thought lice was lice. The ones I have seen look light tanish brown partially translucent wingless insects and I found them on me after handling the new bird. (I know i cannot catch them).
I was planning on worming the birds anyway, so is ivermectin still a good choice over powders?
And I am not sure i want to riskoverdosing using paste, as my birds are banties. I onlt have 3 birds and to ensure they each get properly dosed i would like to give it directly by mouth....so is the ivomec injectible/oral a better route?
tips?
thanks
