RJ is not getting better...

Well, the vet said that giving RJ a shot of Iveremctin would give a dramatic improvement, but his hair loss is getting worse, not better! He is almost 3/4 bald now and starting to show signs of abrasions from scratching so much. >:( I understand I may need another vet, but I l;ibe in a relatively small town and there don't seem to be that many options here. I will check out GorgeousGuineas, but this is really driving me insane. Besides, GorgeousGuineas is UK based and I am in the USA which will make getting what I need harder and take longer...

Anyone know of a good vet in Lakeland, Fl? ?
 
Ditto to that. GG will ship to the USA no problem. Other options are fungal (Nizoral shampoo will help) or lice (Advantage, which you can get from your vet, can help with lice).

Edited to add... it almost always takes more than one treatment of ivermectin to be effective as one will not catch the eggs that hatch.
