Hi everyone,
Hoping someone can help me out.
Buddy has mites, problem is that I live in a place that doesn't have Revolution, and hogs are relatively new here so the vet didn't really have a clue. The vet has given me cat drops from the make 'Advocate', the ingredients say Imidacloprid and Moxidectina, he's told me to use the entire dropper on him although I know that's waaaay too much for a little hedgie.
I went to our local pet shop to pick up some mealies for him and while I was there I asked what they suggested because I know the owner has some hogs himself. He's told me that the Advocate is rubbish, and it's more for fleas anyway and he's suggested a spray called Effipro, the main ingredient is 2.5mg/ml of Fipronil and he's said it's just one quick spray to the back of the head.
Anyone have some advice on which one I should use on him? Or which one I should definitely not use?
Thanks
