because I have put so much on the horse directly that he is glowing in the dark :) I want to go at this from the source now... I want to try sevin because I KNOW I have mites from chickens, my Jaspar has ear mites as we speak. Also Tivar responds really well to this anti-goat-lice stuff the vet gave me to put on him in dots, and also the vet told me our most common culicoide here is very similar to lice moreso than most. Just thought I would give it a try. But maybe just getting the paddocks clean and dry with new sand will help. What about diatamatious (sp) earth? Know anything about that?? should I try that first? Janice -- even good horses have bad days sometimes.
