How long does it take to kill lice?
If your pet appears to have lice, it is essential that you take immediate steps to kill them. Over-the-counter treatments known as pediculicides will kill head lice and their eggs (nits). Follow all directions on the product packaging when administering to ensure optimal results; should any issues arise please consult a veterinarian immediately.
Lice are small parasites that inhabit both humans and animals’ scalps, feeding on blood from their hosts to cause serious irritation if left to remain. Lice are difficult to remove quickly; treatment often requires multiple rounds of medicated shampoos and combs before being fully eradicated from their host’s hair. Furthermore, lice have an unfortunate habit of reinfesting again quickly, so it’s wise to regularly check for lice and their eggs (nits).
One option for treating lice is using the topical medication PetArmor, available both to cats and dogs alike. This medication provides protection from fleas, ticks, lice, as well as eggs. Fipronil is an extremely potent insecticide which quickly eliminates adult fleas and ticks as well as their eggs preventing further maturation into larvae.
Another effective method for killing lice is using a lice collar. These collars release chemicals which irritate lice, prompting them to itch and die off eventually – an ideal solution for pet owners looking for non-invasive solutions such as pesticides and combs.
Though many are concerned about potential side effects from lice products, most can be safely utilized. Before administering medication to your pet, always consult with a veterinarian as they can recommend the most appropriate product and inform you on potential drug interactions.
NexGard, Frontline Plus and Bravecto are three products designed to protect pets from fleas and ticks; all three products can help safeguard healthy pets against these pesky parasites; however, older pets or those with compromised immune systems should avoid them as these medications.
How long does it take to kill sarcoptic mange?
PetArmor is an effective topical treatment that begins killing fleas within four hours after application, killing ticks and chewing lice as well as providing monthly protection from recurrence of sarcoptic mange in dogs. Featuring Frontline’s active ingredient (fipronil), but at an more budget-friendly price point.
Sarcoptic mange, caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei, can be an unbearably itchy condition for your pet. Common areas where this condition appears include ear flaps, elbows and abdomen. The thick crusty skin associated with sarcoptic mange often results in intense itching; in extreme cases this itch may even drive affected pets to scratch so violently that bleeding ensues as a result of scratching and even scarring of these areas of their bodies.
Vets typically prescribe several treatments for sarcoptic mange in dogs. First, all their hair will be clipped off. Next, using a scalpel blade doused in mineral oil, they will scrape across any areas where there is scaling on their body with a scalpel blade doused with mineral oil, scraping across them to collect samples that will then be examined under microscope by veterinary dermatologists to diagnose mites that appear. Skin biopsies may also be performed to confirm diagnosis while mitraz washes/dips such as Demadex Acaricidal Dog Wash/Mitaban are often employed as treatments against mite infestation.
Although itching is an indicator of sarcoptic mange, it alone cannot always serve as a diagnostic indicator. Therefore, prior to beginning any treatments for sarcoptic mange in pets it is also wise to have your pet tested for allergies as many times the symptoms will resolve once environmental or food allergies have been addressed.
As with any medication, PetArmor Plus should be given with extreme care and monitored carefully following its application to your pet. Side effects may include skin reactions like itching or rash as well as digestive discomfort and diarrhea. Furthermore, to ensure safe administration and avoid accidental drug absorption and transference between pets it should also be given in separate doses to each one.
