Treatment of All or Most Parasites

[malanfj]

Can anyone suggest a save overall treatment of all or most of the parasites found on Gouldians (mites, worms, ect.)?

P.S. It should perverably be a product that is widely used and easy to find.

Something like SCATT is a bit pricey for me, converted it is going to cost me about 50 AUS$ for 30 ml where I live.

moxidectin would be my first choice followed by ivermectin.

I'm sure that you'll be able to find a sheep farmer or friendly veterinarian that will supply you with some veterinary ivermectin – it’s used primarily as a sheep wormer. It’s is not water soluble and is dissolved in olive oil and applied topically. Your vet will help you dilute it and show you how to apply it. Be careful to keep it no more than a few weeks as I have had old stock kill Gouldians. I’m not sure if the chemistry or concentration changes but it becomes toxic.

Thanx Guys
Will try to speak with my veterinarian and ask him about these two products.

P.S. The Gouldians are almost coming, CAN'T WAIT!
