I regularly use a sweet itch product which contains Permethrin, rug him up as much as possible, stable him from 6pm till 10 am and yet he`s still getting worse. Tonight he has rubbed his tail raw. Is there any way I can stop it from getting worse?
I applied the permethrin yesterday and his tail and mane and neck weren`t too bad but he is itching like mad again tonight and its now bald.
