A difference of opinion can mean the life of an animal. Is it really worth it to save a few dollars?

First of all Satanic Intention, none of my comments were directed at you!

Second of all JuddB, At the time i used the Nix, it was a choice between using it and then putting the snake in directly from the bag or putting the snake in and then trying to treat it!

This was not a BP that had the mites. It was an Emerald Green Tree Boa that had just been in the car for an hour, underfed by its previous owners, infested with mites and after all that with their natural aggressive temperament, i would say he was probably quite PO'd!!

Don't know about you but i wouldn't want to be the one treating the snake by hand. It was a decision I had to make at the time and I chose to use the Nix.
End of the bloody debate. Its moot now whether or not the medication is proven because the adult mites are DEAD and the snake is still fine.

I did not chose the Nix option to save a few dollars. The animals health is more important to me than a few bucks!!

SatanicIntention; what you said about the possibility of MY cat ending up seizing and in the vet ER was completely off-side! You have no right slamming the treatment of my animals in any way as you don't see how they are cared for!

This is supposed to be an information outlet and instead its turned into somekind of weird peeing contest.

I will not be insulted or subjected to those kinds of accusations. I'm done with this thread!!

I dont get it.... There is no difference between any snake having mites.... You didnt need to handle the snake at all. You treat the enclosure for the mites. But anyway your snakes ok that's what counts :sunny: . But "peeing contest" :eek: :confused: Dont get it buddy..... :salute:

Roswell, Becky is quite accurate in her description of what happens to cats when treated with cheap grocery store pyrethrins, and it is directly relevant to the discussion at hand, since we are talking about off-label use of pyrethins on the animals in our care.

Like her, I have seen the consequences of people cutting corners and taking the cheap way out, and it's extremely unpleasant.

:snake: Well, all clean, enclosure and snakes! We'll try and post some pictures tomorrow! Thanks again for all of your help!
