You can try the S76 (or equivalent) in water. I prefer to catch all mine and apply it. Yes, it is the slower way but it gives me the chance to feel the body and see what is wrong, like check keelbone for sharpness, also trim nails.
I did wonder. She is much bigger than the others. I was told all show type, but no ages.Maybe it's not mites. Could she be an older bird?
Hah. Let me go back a few.I did wonder. She is much bigger than the others. I was told all show type, but no ages.
Did you see my post before you posted?
HereRight...
Just went out there. All the other birds are fine, both feet and faces, at the moment. Th e bird in question is the only one. If it helps at all, it appears to have thicker feet than the other finches, at least double.
Should I seperate her off asap? I know I will still have to treat them all if it is, but it minimises risk
Ok. Now I need to work out how.OK I talked myself into a 'yes.' Yes, separate her out
We don't know. That type of mite takes a very long time to show. Also they tend to infest the weaker birds so that's why you can have one infected and one not.With it being so long, and no more infected, wouldn't the others be infected by now? The 5 new finches all came together from the same aviary, so they should all be infected, right?
Is this just as effective? I think it would be easier than treating with the Scatt and having to catch them all twice.use S76 in the water 2 days every other week x3, also spraying aviary.
I have both available to meDon't know the UK equivalents.
GreatI have both available to me
I think so. But here's why I prefer SCATT even tho it means catching all the birds.Is this just as effective? I think it would be easier than treating with the Scatt and having to catch them all twice.
Contact your vet, they may have a stash.
