I goofed .....

Has anyone had their dog’s ACL (CCL) repaired recently? Where did you go and roughly what did it cost?
Also, has anyone tried a knee brace instead of surgery? Did it actually help?

Appreciate any recommendations or experiences.

Mites seem so hard to treat......
In order to treat chicken mites effectively, you have to understand their life cycle first. That is what drives everything. Mites go through four stages - egg, larva, nymph, and adult - and that entire cycle can happen in about five to seven days. The eggs are laid in cracks and protected areas inside the coop, not on the bird. As they hatch and develop, the mites begin feeding at night, then return to those same hiding places during the day. By the time mites are noticed on chickens, there are already multiple generations living in the coop. That is why a single treatment never works. You are not just dealing with what is there, you are dealing with what is about to hatch.
Because of that, the focus has to be on the coop first, not just the birds. Start by cleaning the coop out completely. Remove bedding, scrape down surfaces, and expose all seams, joints, and corners where mites hide. Once everything is opened up, a penetrating spray like Prozap CT-75 should be used as the primary treatment. Work it into cracks, along seams, under roost bars, and inside nest boxes. The goal is to get insecticide into the areas where mites are actually living, not just to lightly spray surfaces. After that, a fogger such as Prozap LD-44Z can be used to carry the treatment into areas you cannot reach directly, including rafters and tight spaces, helping to ensure full coverage.
At the same time, the birds need to be treated because that is where mites are feeding. A permethrin-based dust such as Insectrin should be applied to the vent area, under the wings, and along the back, making sure it reaches the skin rather than just sitting on the feathers. This takes care of the mites that are actively on the birds while the coop treatment addresses the source.
Timing is what ultimately breaks the cycle. Because mites hatch in about a week, treatments need to be repeated every five to seven days. Treat everything on day one, then repeat at five to seven days, again at ten to fourteen days, and add a fourth treatment one more week later to be sure the cycle is fully broken. The first treatment knocks down the adults, the second catches newly hatched mites before they can reproduce, the third handles any stragglers, and the fourth is simply insurance.
During this process, do not fully re-bed the coop between treatments. Use minimal bedding so you are not wasting material, since it will need to be removed again before each treatment. Even if the bedding looks clean, do not reuse it once it has been in a treated coop. Start fresh after the final treatment.
When you follow that schedule and use each product for its role - spray for pe*******on, fogger for coverage, and dust for the birds - you stop the life cycle instead of chasing it.
