Anti-Myiasis (maggot disease) spray 75 ml

Beaphar Anti-Myiasis (Ivermectin 0.5 mg/ml), skin spray for rabbits and guinea pigs for the prevention and control of Myiasis (maggot disease caused by the blue-green blowfly).

Myiasis in rabbits and guinea pigs is mainly caused by the blue-green blowfly that lays eggs in caked feces, wounds or foul-smelling fur. The maggots from the eggs eat through the skin and can cause blood poisoning or infections, which can kill the animal within 24 hours.

NB! this product kills the eggs and maggots of the fly that causes Myiasis. Not the adult fly. If you notice maggots on the animal, you should contact the vet immediately.

✔ Works against eggs and larvae of the fly that causes maggot disease
✔ Provides 2-3 months of protection
✔ Easy application using a spray bottle

Myiasis is lurking, especially in the spring when temperatures start to rise and the bugs wake up. It depends a bit on the weather, but usually the blue-green blowfly becomes active around April. This will remain active until November. When these flies are active, rabbits are at risk for Myiasis.
