I noticed small whitish looking things crawling on my Boer, Dutches today.

At first I thought, flea? but I have never seen white looking fleas...so I'm thinking Lice. I don't know for sure it is, but what else could it be? :hu

So what would be good to use on her to get rid of those nasty things?

Ivermec will get rid of them in 24 hrs or less. Then treat again in 10-14 days.

Go into TSC asking for Diatomaceous Earth and they'll probably hand you potting soil...:lol:

I use 7 dust / ivermectin combo.

Lice :sick

I use ivermectin (Ivomec). Just gave my buck's their second dose yesterday since they had the creepy crawlies.

Remember whatever you use to redose or redust in 10-14 days to get any newly hatched lice.

Coming from someone that works there that's pretty funny Roll! :gig

But I know if I go to my TSC I need to know what I want exactly cause I can't expect them to be of much help :rolleyes: They tried to hand me a thermostat when I asked for a thermocube :rolleyes:

I've been a tsc shopper MUCH longer than I've been a tsc employee....
I know that most of the folks may have good intentions, but little practical knowledge.
