Thanks my cats get mites, the vets here ( se asia) are kinda backwards, was really torturing my cats ( bengals) who get mites, I just got ivermectin for me ( at animal feed store) as there is so called outbreak in village... i can use for the cats too... was it one time treatment?
Just as follow up, my Dad gave the cattle version of Ivermectin to his dogs to keep heart worms, flees, ticks, etc. away. It’s injected into cattle, but he gave it orally to the dogs. I believe the dose was 1 cc per 10 lb of body weight ... but look up the dose for cats! He pulled out the medicine with a syringe, then fill the syringe with an equal part water. Take the needle off and shake the syringe to mix the ivermectin with the water. Then hold their mouth open and squirt it down the throat. As the other poster said, it apparently doesn’t taste good. So they got a treat afterward.

He did this monthly. Good luck!
