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 a foul-smelling fur. 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. If you see maggots on the animal, contact your vet immediately.

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

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