my sow whiskers had a flare up of hay mites which is 70% better she is due her 3rd dose 2moz but i was wondering if it still doesnt seem to be cleared up completely can a 4th dose be given or would this overdose her:{ she seems to be prone to mites the older she has got,as she has had flare ups quite bad over the last 12mths she is nearly 5yrs old,she does seem a lot better now her hair is looking much much better I'm hoping the 3rd dose will do the trick for her but was just wondering if a 4th can be given if needed?xx
 
How long have you been leaving between doses? Have you been bathing her to help wash off the dead mites? An anti-parasitic shampoo like Fleaordie may help if it is hay mites, and not mange mites - or see the link below.

I don't think a fourth dose would overdose her, but I'd certainly avoid it if possible.

There's always this alternative, I must say I have not tried it myself although I do have some here - GG Bugs Be Gone:
