Re: Here's my Retic
When mites are full of tasty, tasty blood, they drop off and find a place to hide out and breed. That's when they come into contact with the anti-mite chemical. If you don't fog the enclosure with PAM and wait for it to settle then there's a chance that it didn't reach the nooks and crannies where mites like to lay their eggs. That's typically why most people have recurring infestations, they never got rid of the eggs the first time around. I'm VERY leery of any vet whose solution to everything is a shot. Even shots given for common issues, such as respiratory infections, can result in the animal getting sick or dying. Why risk complications when there are known and proven (and cheaper) measures for killing the little blood suckers?
