DOSING
When to Dose
What is Sweet Itch? Horses being being bitten by the Culicoides Midge (also known as Queensland Itch or Summer Itch) are often itchy in the mane, tail or rump area. They may rub these areas constantly, leading to raw and broken skin which can result in more severe infection, so it’s important to treat any itchy skin quickly.
You can expect to see the remedy working within the first week, usually after day 3. Further improvement continues over the coming weeks as the formulation supports the normal functioning of the immune system.
Dose until symptoms are gone, then reduce dosing to once a week to maintain.
Works for dogs too. Just add about half a teaspoon to their water bowl.
How to Dose
Dose via the water trough or by adding to feed. You should see a change within 3-7 days, with further improvements as the weeks progress and the normal immune response builds.
Jerry Can Dosing
Water trough - add 25mls - one capful or 1 Jerry Can pump - of remedy into the water trough every second day. Dose volume is calculated for a 500-litre water trough and can provide coverage for multiple animals.
Feed – add 12mls - ½ capful (12ml) or ½ pump - on to feed twice daily.
1 litre = 80 days continuous cover via water troughs (dosing every second day) or 40 days dosing on feed (twice daily). *Maintenance dosing is once a week so product will last a lot longer.
Dose until symptoms ease, then reduce dosing to once a week for maintenance.
