Tom and mites :/

[sfgwife]

i have the pour on Ivermectin. Should i also do dust on his bum and under belly amd wings with it? Or is that too much like double dosing him? I am gonna dust the coop this afternoon and replace the straw in there. Do i need wet bathe him first you think?

And just to make sure... 1cc per pound right?

My thought on the dusting part for him.... he has wry neck so doesn't dust bathe good on one side. I do have food grade de though... i could just dust him with that to help the itchies maybe? Til the ivermectin starts its majiks on him. We got him a monthish ago and i checked and didnt see anything on him. But now i do quite a bit. None of the other turkeys have anything on them but they will get dosed as well cause it wont hirt to worm them now anyway and just in case they may have a few mites from him. Last night we treated him for scaly leg mites and finally got him to cooperate and not freak out over his bumblefoot. Poor Cletis.

If you mix ! cup vegetable oil to 2 cups water and 1 tsp of dawn dish soap to use a a spray for the coop, make sure you spray under the roost post. Mites can't breath under the oil and it smothers them. Remember that each mite can lay 100,000 eggs and it takes a week to hatch so repeat this is important.
You can use vegetable oil for scaly leg mites to after you wash the legs and do his neck with it too. Don't forget to repeat due to hatching!

Thanks for that info. My main question is about whether or not doin the ivermectin drops and dusting him is too much.. like double dosin him. . And to make sure the 1cc per pound is accurate for dosage on drops.
