Lookee what I got

Ivermectin. Just like the covid medicine.

Well, no, not just like – this is a spot-on animal treatment. Ivermectin is kind of a miracle drug for small animal and bird parasites. It gets rid of internal and external bugs with a topical application. Apparently, it’s brilliant for earmites in bunnies.

Albert the cockerel has developed a big bald spot on his head. I can’t see any parasites, but I can’t think what else it can be. I don’t think Polands molt like that. Or maybe they do.

Anyway, I didn’t need a prescription, but it was super expensive. And it looks like I miscalculated – this is formulated for budgies or something. Albert is a substantial chicken. He’s going to take alllll the pipettes.
