My mini gelding has been scratching like crazy the past month or so. He's scratching patches of hair off. I checked him over and over for lice, but couldn't find anything. And he was always sensitive to the touch. So I figured some type of fungus. In the 10 years I owned him, he always lost his hair in patches and would loose it late in the spring/summer. So today, I finally found lice. Not the answer I was looking for.
But I just wormed him with fenbenezole today (sp?) without the knowledge of lice (found them afterwards). So how long do I need to wait in order to give him ivermectrin?? I dusted him and will have to go to the feed store to get more powder to do the rest of the herd now. And I wormed the whole herd.
