How are infestations with ticks and mites diagnosed? How are animals with these external parasites treated? Grab the tick by the head or mouth parts right where they enter the skin.
Do not grasp the tick by the body. Without jerking, pull firmly and steadily directly outward. Do not twist the tick as you are pulling. If mites are the cause of the problem, you can easily take care of it by applying generous amounts of mineral oil all over the specific spot of the body.
The mineral oil is non toxic to iguanas, but may give your iguana laxative side-effect if ingested accidentally. You can coat the entire body as a precautionary treatment including the head and ears. Use a cotton swab to get the oil between the toes and in the skin folds. Be careful around the eyes while oiling the areas that have mites and be careful covering the nostrils.
The way it works is that mites breath through tiny holes on their body. It needs to be done, in order to get rid of mites, because mites can crawl in between the grains of the wood and it only takes one might to reproduce, so, if you miss one, your problem is definitely going to continue. So, here are steps to get rid of these pests make sure to wash hands after handling contaminated items :.
Again, be careful around the face and pits. Use cotton swabs for the head area. Then, clean the isolation container itself and put your reptile back in it. There are tons of places in the enclosure where mites can remain, little nooks and crevices here and there. Unfortunately many of the commercial products found to kill mites either do not work or are toxic to the pet itself. At other times plain bathing has been used but often with poor results. Veterinarians will at times use an injectable drug called Ivermectin which is supposed to go into the blood stream and then dehydrate and kill the mites as the mites drink it.
However this is often known to fail. Several years ago I was told of a procedure to rid a reptile of mites completely in one session. I would normally question this but it was backed and tested by N. The procedure has been used in the Iguana Den several times and has worked so successfully that I would be hard pressed to try any other. Mixing one of these product in a 1 to 1 ratio with water your are ready to proceed. I prefer to use 1 cap full of water to 1 cap full of Nix.
Pour this mixture into your hands and rub down the reptile from nose to tail. Do not worry about getting this into the eyes as it has been found to be very safe on all reptiles. Be sure to pay attention to the folds under the neck as well as the arms on lizards.
Wait 10 minutes and rinse well. Be sure to rinse the animal until all of the mixture is off.
