Interceptor

[dcw1sfu]

Anyone know where to get this in the lower mainland? I've contacted both my dogs vets and they don't carry it. Added a couple frags recently that arnt doing so well and was carless and in a hurry so didn't dip... dipped these yesterday and a few little red bugs in the bucket... any help appreciate would like to treat my tank ASAP.

I believe interceptor got discontinued (although I think I read it may be coming back). I used sentinel for red bugs and it worked a treat.

A lot of vets sell sentinel

Hmm called both my vets and they only carry drontal... Asumming I can only get it from a vet my dog goes to.

Well I just bought sentinel 10mins ago from 'all about pets' clinic in Langley. Maybe next time your this side of the bridge you could drop in and grab some

Any other solutions to getting rid of red bugs I called a few more vets in the area and they do not carry sentinal or if do they are requiring my dog be a patient to get this prescription

Print out information about red bugs - try to get something that's printed in a magazine or written by someone with letters after their name. Tell the vet exactly what it's for. Picked a vet that does all sorts of animals like birds and reptiles.

Finally found a vet that carried sentinel and did just this. He still refused to sell it to me... even offered to bring my dog in and pay the examination fee if they would not sell it to me for my fish tank... they said no. I'm getting frustrated my RR wolverine is toast and my RR banana split and strawberry shortcake are looking pretty bad.

Why on earth is a fish product not made that has the active ingredient in it to take care of red bugs.

I have two tabs but they only have 5.75mg of the active ingredient needed so depending on the size of your tank you may need a handful of them

use milbemax for large cats. same thing. maybe a vet that has that will help u

So they have 5.75mg of milbemicyn oxide per tab? If that's the case that would work out perfect as I need 3.6 mg of milbemicyn oxide per dosage for my 60 gallon (times 3 dosages).
