Posted June 28, 200619 yr Does anybody know a single treatmet for birds that control mites scaly face, worms etc. I guess it would come from a vet, and I heard you just put a drop on the back of the neck. Heres hoping Paul
June 28, 200619 yr I can't think of the name of it Paul, but I know the vet at Wattle Grove stocks it (Welshpool Rd)

June 28, 200619 yr It's invermectin but the one stocked at Wattle Grove vets is one he makes up himself (avian vet). Costs $9 for a bottle and does many birds. You still have to treat for worms I think though. This medicine gets all the rest. I have used it and it is very good.
June 28, 200619 yr Are you looking to prevent mites or to treat ones that are already there? Edited June 28, 200619 yr by eterri
June 29, 200619 yr Are you looking to prevent mites or to treat ones that are already there? I'm pretty sure ivermectin does both anyway.
June 29, 200619 yr It does, but it's not recommended for birds unless you know the mites are there. It's essentially a pesticide and you know how sensitive birds can be to pretty much anything, especially chemicals.
