Rocky has bugs ::)

I nit-combed everyone and bathed them today. I wondered would it help if I gave Rocky a very severe haircut?
 
Probably not. He and the others will probably need to be treated with either topical ivermectin or Advantage. Combing doesn't kill all and doesn't get rid of the eggs, unfortunately.
 
No. I use it as a complementary thing to Ivomec treatment - which is generally very good.
 
Poor Rocky. he keeps picking those bugs up doesn't he? You should tell him that he can't have his friends to stay ;D
