I've seen people say they have their vet use a shot of ivermectin every six months rather than things like spot on. How safe/good is that? Thanks
 
I haven't have are of this, I probably would not do it unless mites were involved. Vimto broke out in mites due to stress of vets visit...
 
Thanks. Booking an appointment for the suspected ear problem. Had a checkup for Ginny after Minja died and then another out of concern for breathing, he presents himself fairly well most of the time but wondering if Ginny has also broke into mites from the vet visits in a short time, he doesn't usually need them
 
I have heard of preventative treatment for mites and mine used to be given it at the clinic I took them too. They were given an oral version of the injectable Ivermectin though, not the actual injection. I don't attend the clinic anymore though so they don't have preventative mite treatment.
