Treating a Wombat with Pole & Scoop

Wombles the Wombat received his first mange treatment by pole & scoop last year and has since completed all his treatments and has fully recovered from the hideous mange mite.

Treating with pole & scoop is very rewarding once you’ve been shown how by our expert volunteers.
This video highlights some handy tips on how to successfully treat a wombat with pole & scoop are:

1. Approach quietly from downwind
2. Distribute the Cydectin onto the healthy part of the skin along the spine
3. Retreat slowly from your wombat
4. Give yourself a little pat on the back for doing a great job
