BANDIT Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 WHATS THE BEST PRODUCT TO TREAT FEATHER ROT,I KNOW ITS A MITE ANDIVE JUST NOTICED ONE OF MY BIRDS SEEMS TO HAVE IT (BALD PATCH ON FRONT) THANKS
Novice Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 The book Loft Stock and Barrel recomends Benzyl Benzoate 250 mls available online for just over £5.00 plus carriage. This should be enough to treat your entire federation. Don't ask for this product in a chemists as it could be embarassing as it is also used for Pubic Mite (crabs). If you say it's for animal use Boots will refuse to sell it to you (even if they have it in stock).

Guest mick bowler Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Go to your chemist and ask what scabies treatments they sell, and try to get one with permethrin in. Creams for mange work too, but usually are prescription from vets.
