(aka, 'I am not an exotics vet...')</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/5528/frontline-on-snakes-aka-i-am-not-an-exotics-vet</link><description> I&amp;#39;ve got a client who wants me to put frontline (presumably spray) to treat &amp;#39;mites&amp;#39;. 
 Does anyone have any experience of this to share? Any ideas on dosage? Tips on confirming a diagnosis of &amp;#39;mites&amp;#39; would be great too (!).

It turned out that the diagnosis was pretty straight forward, poor little thing was crawling with them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Frontline on Snakes?

If you&amp;#39;re going to use it wipe rather than spray. Better solution is to mix 1ml Ivomec with 2ml propylene glycol and then dilute&amp;nbsp;with 500ml water (or pro rata). Spray once weekly for 3-4weeks and spray the vivarium as well but let it dry before replacing the snake.&amp;nbsp;Don&amp;#39;t use this on Indigo snakes, chelonians, skinks or crocodilians.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
