Selehold (2.6 - 5 kg)

The product should be administered as a single application of a single dose delivering a minimum of 6 mg/kg selamectin. When concurrent infestations or infections in the same animal are to be treated with the veterinary medicinal product, only one application of the recommended 6 mg/kg dose should be administered at any one time. The appropriate length of the treatment period for individual parasites is specified below.

Administer in accordance with the following table:

Flea treatment and prevention

Following administration of the veterinary medicinal product, the adult fleas on the animal are killed, no viable eggs are produced, and larvae (found only in the environment) are also killed. This stops flea reproduction, breaks the flea lifecycle and may aid in the control of existing environmental flea infestations in areas to which the animal has access.

For the prevention of flea infestations, the veterinary medicinal product should be administered at monthly intervals throughout the flea season, starting one month before fleas become active. Through a reduction in the flea population, monthly treatment of pregnant and lactating animals will aid prevention of flea infestations in the litter up to seven weeks of age.

For use as part of a treatment strategy for flea allergy dermatitis the veterinary medicinal product should be administered at monthly intervals.

Prevention of heartworm disease

The need for treatment should be determined by the prescribing veterinarian and should be based on the local epidemiological situation (see section 4.4). For prevention of heartworm disease, the veterinary medicinal product should be administered within one month of the animal’s first exposure to mosquitoes and monthly thereafter until 1 month after the last exposure to mosquitoes. If a dose is missed and a monthly interval between dosing is exceeded then immediate administration of the veterinary medicinal product and resumption of monthly dosing will minimise the opportunity for the development of adult heartworms. The need for extended treatment should be determined by the prescribing veterinarian. When replacing another heartworm preventive veterinary medicinal product in a heartworm disease prevention programme, the first dose of the veterinary medicinal product must be given within a month of the last dose of the former medication.

Treatment of roundworm infections

A single dose of the veterinary medicinal product should be administered.

Treatment of biting lice

A single dose of the veterinary medicinal product should be administered.

Treatment of ear mites

A single dose of the veterinary medicinal product should be administered. Loose debris should be gently removed from the external ear canal at the time of treatment. A further veterinary examination 30 days after treatment is recommended as some animals may require a second treatment.

Treatment of sarcoptic mange

For complete elimination of the mites, a single dose of the veterinary medicinal product should be administered for two consecutive months.
