Hi,
We had a beautiful ten year old male degu that was in perfect health apart from mites.
We bought some bob martin sot on for small animal for mites.
Within seconds of applying one drop of this to the back of his neck he was squeaking as if scared, and went crazy in his sand bath trying to get this off
his back. When he calmed down, I noticed he was trembling slightly, and was wetting himself uncontrollably. His skin was cold and clammy.
Within a few minutes he began convulsing badly and within a few minutes he died.
In my opinion, this so called treatment killed our little boy. Then I did what I should have done in the first place: I looked it up on the net.
It seems the same chemical in this is also responsible for killing cats and small dogs. The chemical is something like Permethrin.
Some pet shops have told us this has already been taken off, but you always find some who dont get the message.
I wish I could find a solicitor that would help us sue bob martin, and stop them doing this to anyone else.
Our little degu has left such a huge hole in our hearts.
The more people that are aware of this, the better chance that others wont have to go through the same..
