Re: Nina, ivermectin 4 earmites

That's good to know!  I used Acarexx on one of my adults about 10 weeks ago.  I'll have to recheck her.  It's so hard to try to keep ferals ears healthy - and a colony is a colony when it comes to numbers and keeping things like earmites and fleas under control whether they're inside or outside and whether they're people friendly or not.  It's still a major job to treat them.  I'll have to try comparing the effectiveness of Acarexx and home made Ivermectin compounds.    In a message dated 6/13/2005 10:59:19 P.M.
