Yup, I bathed my 2 minis for the first time this spring in prep for their spring shave down and I found lice. I've seen a lot of dogs with lice this spring (I'm a groomer) but I was still surprised to find them on my horse. The only up side to lice is that they don't transfer from species to species so my dogs and chickens don't have them.
The vet gave me a topical called "Buzz Off". You distribute 8-16mL along the spine and down the face. I did 8mL since I'm using it on minis. It says to do it again in 2 weeks since it won't kill eggs. It also says it repels mosquitoes, ticks, and a whole bunch of different flies. If it really does work well on the minis (kills lice AND repels pests) I might use it on my big horses for fly control this year.
Other than the lice Major and Clementine look like real horses again. I even braided Major's super rockstar forlock and can actually see his face. It's kind of weird to look out and see is face rather than all that hair. So glad to have our first bath and shave out of the way and the lice problem under control.
Oh has anyone on here used the "Buzz Off" product?
