Practical use

The procedure for treating the surface of animal skin and fur is as follows:

• Spread the fur.
• Apply the drug directly to the skin.
• It is necessary to process at several points.
• Select application sites so that the dog cannot lick the liquid (neck, back, between the shoulder blades, along the spine).

Duration of exposure:

It is recommended to repeat the procedure after a month (it should not be done more often). The death of parasites after applying the drug to the dog’s skin occurs no later than 24 hours. If you plan to use the product during the treatment of ear scabies, you must first clean the ear canals. You can use a cotton swab or swab moistened with the drug.

Continuing the treatment of otodectosis, it is necessary to inject 3-4 drops of the product into the shell of the ear. To maximize penetration of the liquid, fold your ear and massage it a little. This procedure will have to be performed twice, an interval of 7-10 days.

If the disease has been advanced, the main treatment can be repeated. To increase the effect and protect against otitis, the veterinarian prescribes antibacterial drugs and anti-inflammatory drugs.

It is convenient to cure a pet from a bite of a tick that has burrowed into the dog’s skin. To do this, apply one drop of the liquid substance directly to the parasite and wait 15-20 minutes. During this time, the ixodid tick should fall off on its own, due to the neutralization of the nervous system. If this does not happen, you need to use tweezers.

Operating principle

The insectoacaricidal effectiveness of the drug is due to the successful selection of components that enhance the effect of each other. The effect of fipronil ensures blocking of GABA-dependent parasite receptors and disruption of neuromyalgic conduction. This causes paralysis and then death of the insect.

Juvemon is an inhibitor of chitin formation; it prevents the growth and development of parasites.

The presence of benzyl benzoate in the drug maintains and enhances the effect of fipronil: the substance accumulates in the tissues of blood-sucking animals and poisons them. The repellent activity of the product is provided by diethyltoluamide.

After using the drug, ectoparasites die en masse within 24 hours. To prevent re-infestation, the cat’s previous bedding must be destroyed or treated with BlochNet spray.
