So the boys have got lice. I've wondered for a couple of weeks and been checking their coats, and then this morning I finally found one of the little buggers in the Section A's forelock. The Sheltie has such a dense coat I haven't found any on him, but he undoubtedly has them two.
So, Tack Room Gurus, what treatment would you recommend? The powders don't work any more, and I have been looking at Switch, but it appears to only treat sweet itch, although on a vet site, it was recommended as it contains permethrin. I have also heard that there is a cattle spot on that is really effective and that pour-ons burn the skin of horses and shouldn't be used.
Arrrgggg, it's all too confusing for my pea-brain to understand.
