Anti-Myiasis (maggot disease) spray 75 ml

Against maggot disease

Beaphar Anti-Myiasis (Ivermectine 0.05%) skin spray, solution for rabbits and guinea pigs to prevent Myiasis (maggot disease). Myiasis in rabbits and guinea pigs is mainly caused by faeces or urine sticking to the back. This attracts flies to lay eggs. The maggots from the eggs eat through the skin and can cause blood poisoning or infections, which can cause the animal to die within 24 hours.

Please note, this product kills the eggs and maggots of the fly that causes Myiasis; not the adult fly. Use of Anti-Myiasis is recommended during the period that the blue-green blowfly is active. Depending on the weather conditions, this is usually April to November. If you see maggots on the animal, you should contact the vet immediately.
