  2. Mites
    Hi all, As some of you know, Quilly was sick last fall and they weren't sure what he had. CAT scans, bloodwork, ultrasounds, and X-RAYS were all inconclusive. But the good news is that over the last nearly-6 months, a daily antibiotic and antimicrobial have significantly reduced the signs of...

    My old vet used to give my measured syringes and only make me pay for those 2, but I moved and my new vet doesn't carry revolution in their office and it's looking like I have to buy the whole package which is pretty expensive. Thanks for the help!
  4. Mites
    Vet gave me two option when we figured my sow might have mites, either ivermectin or advocate which contains imidacloprid and moxidectin. No revolution treatment unfortunately. What exactly is this imidacloprid + moxidectin treatment and is it effective at treating mite infestation? It's from...

    Sorry about all the mite/breeding posts but I'm trying to make sure my male and female are completely healthy before putting them together to mate (see my previous post for my knowledge on breeding, i.e I have a mentor, I've done research for over 2 years now, I have both their lineage going...
  6. Mites
    My hedgie Rumble has been recently scratching himself constantly so I had decided to check to see if he had mites and sure enough I saw little white bugs crawling on his skin. After finding an animal hospital that would take Hedgehogs, I took him as soon as I could. The vet asked me about his...
  7. Mites
    Hello all! I recently discovered that our little Maximus (Male, 15 months old) had mites. I’ve got lots of questions about the whole mite treatment and recovery situation, but I’ll ask them in different threads so that I don’t overload this one! So, first question: I got some Revolution from...

    Hello, Thought I would post on here since it's 2am and I can't call my vet. So Quillson is almost a year now and at around 4-5 months old I noticed him losing more quills than I thought was normal. I also saw him itching and biting at his back quills/having pretty flakey skin so I decided to...

    I took my hedgehog Buster into the vet over a month ago (presidents day) and got him on a 6 week treatment of Revolution. The vet couldn't find any mites on his from the scraping, but we decided to treat him just incase. He still has decent quill loss today, and still has very bald spots. I can...
  10. Skin
    After making a post about the possibility of mites affecting my Kiwi (2.5 month old hedgie, she is still quilling), I've taken her to the vet and they have ruled out mites but have given her the appropriate amount of Revolution to prevent mites and worms/parasites. It has been around 6 days...

    Hi everyone! I think my hedgies have mites... So I found a shop in my country that sells Revolution. Is it okay if I administer it by myself or not? Has anyone tried doing it? If so, where do you apply it? Thanks!

    Hello! I'm a new hedgehog owner, I've had my female for about 5 weeks now and discovered she had mites 3 ago, she was given her first Revolution dose on December 5th and is due for the second dose on January 5th. Now my issue is, she was pregnant when I adopted her and I had no idea, I found...
  13. Mites
    I'll provide a little background on my hedgie, because I need some reassurance that everything is okay. He has not been running on his wheel, his beloved wheel, for almost two months. About a 6 weeks ago, my hedgie (his name is Brann, as in Stark, Winter is Coming) stopped running. We noticed...

    Hi Everyone, I'm a first time poster and first time hedgie owner. I have read a lot on here and hope someone can provide some advice to my hedgehog's situation. Below is some background information: Weight: 430 grams (I was told he is overweight by the vet - currently on diet food) Age...
  15. General Questions
    My hedgehog was diagnosed with mites and has since got treated. I first had him get the ivermectin shot before I actually did much research on it and decided not to get the second dosage. Since then I went to another vet who treated him with revolution. I've given him 2 doses of revolution (the...

    I went to the vet yesterday to treat my baby for mites. The vet was pretty hesitant on giving my hedgehog revolution, and got pretty upset that I didn't get ivermectin. He told me to give liam the whole vile, which I thought was pretty incorrect. I know that you're suppose to give .01 cc per 400...
  17. General Questions
    Hi guys, about a week ago I got my baby Liam. When I got him the seller told me he was about one month old, give or take. When I brought him home he was a bit shy at first, but after the first day he was very friendly and let me carry him without the least bit of problems. He ran every night and...
  18. Mites
    Today I took my baby Peewee into the vet to be treated for mites and was given a prescription for Revolution which I quickly applied. I just wonder, what should I do now. I have cleaned and sanitized his cage (he is now living on a towel I can wash every day, and done the same with my other...
  19. Mites
    My hedgie, Orpheus, somehow ended up with the dreaded mites! :( I have already been to the vet and gotten revolution. I was wondering how long I need to wait before giving him a full bath? Should I just rinse him with water and no soap/shampoo when I do bathe him because of his dry skin? I've...

    I ordered one dose of kitten revolution on 8/29 and I received the package on 9/13. So it took about 14 days to get to me in the US. The package of revolution looks like a legitimate container. I attached a photo of it. Can anyone confirm this is the same packaging as from the vet? I won't be...
