Thank you, Ryan. That helps bunches...
Well, one way to stop or end the life of the lice is to overdose the pony and end it's life...
Both Jynx and Trixie passed on April 24/25. It may have tied into the severe thunder/lightning storm we had as well - we don't know - for sure. I do know that they were both fine (albeit WET) on Monday evening. I, regretfully, didn't check on them Tuesday morning in the heavy down pour coming down - knowing that I needed extra time to navigate possibly flooded roads on the way into work... Our rain gauges at this home have never worked and we decided to quit purchasing them. Our neighbor - 1.5 miles away, says he has a measured 5" of rain between Sunday night & Tuesday morn - there has been localized flooding here in areas all around us. YES, on Monday eve - we had standing water in a couple of areas again.
Trixie was not directly treated for lice nor was she wormed yet, but her dam was. Jynx, Blitzen and Chylly were probably all overdosed with Permethrin - yes - what I use for fly spray in concentrate form. I now know that I used too much - we are watching both Chylly & Blitzen as they may develop overdose issues as well (or just lay down and die).
