gooster Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Hope pup's itching is sorted soon Griff Decided to cycle to the gym today, just as I got into the car park, I got a bloody puncture Bumped into Mr G who was just leaving and he said he'd go home and bring a new inner tube and a pump for me. Whilst I was in circuit training, the manager put the new inner tube in and pumped it up. Unfortunately the inner tube wasn't the right size, so the tyre was still soft. So one of the girls gave me a lift home and I left my bike there Going to have to go to Halfords tomorrow and get a few maintenance bits! Would have been stuck without my friends!

griff Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Jayne, hope you see this before going to Halfords, i am pretty sure you can get that goo stuff that goes into tyres, you get it for cars but sure you can get it for bikes now.... I will go google and come back with the name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Had a look and Halfords do it, it is called "Slime tyre sealant" and it iis green, it will repair punctures upto 3mm and can prevent them too, might be worth putting that in the inner tube thanks for thinking of Deags, she is still a bit itchy, i do recall this happening before but as we have quite a few beautiful foxes i worry about mange....not sure what the heck to use now. I don't flea them regularly anyway and they all get a wormer when i remember, i guess i will need a chat with the vet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advocate is very good for mites / mange and we use it all the time here in Sri Lanka ( imported from Australia via the UK ) You can buy it online with out a prescription from Pet Megastore in Australia and it arrives within a week normally http://www.pets-megastore.com.au/mangetreatments-c-165_278.html Edited April 20, 2015 by Happylittlegreensquirrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Griff my Archie is very susceptible to grass mites but they only affect his under carriage where the skin shows through. His feet don't bother him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griff Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Thanks Sam, it is actually the advocate i have used.... she is itching a bit again this morning, she has only been in the house/garden. I will give her another piriton and see if it settles, i didn't walk her yesterday in case it was something outside but she is still doing it so i guess not, if the advocate does sarcoptes will that sort the grass mites? do i need something else for that. good luck with the inspection Jazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merledogs Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Thanks for that link sam - I've just ordered some for my lot. Beau is chewing at his fur round his tail in a couple of places (looks like flea allergy), looks red raw and I've used Advantage to no effect.

Yantan Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Think I will try the Advocate as I don't particularly like having Archie take steroids even though it's only for short periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
