Only dilute the quantity needed to treat animal immediately.
Before treating remove any crusts on animal with a hard brush. Imaverol can be sued to soak the crusts. It is highly recommended that the animal be sprayed entirely at the first treatment so that areas surrounding the infection are reached as well.
Horses: Areas of infection and surrounding skin should be washed with Imaverol 4 times, at 3 to 4 day intervals.
Dogs: Wash with Imaverol 4 times, at 3 to 4 day intervals. While doing this rub thoroughly in the opposite direction to hair growth to make sure that the skin is thoroughly wet. For the same reason it is recommended to clip long-haired dogs before treatment. New hair growth may be temporarily discoloured.
Specifically:
Treat twice weekly for 2 weeks (4 treatments)
First treatment: Wash entire animal with solution. Brush hair to ensure skin and hair are thoroughly soaked with Imaverol.
Second treatment: Apply doluted solution to ringworm lesions.
Third treatment: Apply diluted solution to ringworm lesions.
Fourth treatment: Wash entire animal with solution. Brush hair to ensure skin and hair are thoroughly soaked with Imaverol.
To assist in prevention of re-infection and contamination by ringworm spores, wash or spray all stable equipment including girth straps, saddle, harnesses, bridles, head stalls and riding boots etc. Wash or spray also all equipment used for dogs such as brushes, baskets, blankets etc.
