Scalibor Protectorband Collar - Small 48cm

Description

Scalibor Protectorband Dog Collar

Scalibor Collars are available in two sizes - one 48cm and the other 65cm. Scalibor Protectorband Collars can be used for puppies over 7 weeks of age. The active ingredient is `Deltamethrin` which is a pyrethroid ester insecticide. Scalibor collars control tick and sand fly (the vector of canine Leishmaniasis) infestations for up to 6 months.

Scalibor Collars are odourless and remain active when the dog becomes wet. As the Scalibor Collar exerts its full effect after 1 week it should be applied 1 week before animals are likely to become exposed to infestation. Scalibor Collars may be used during pregnancy and lactation.

Scalibor Collar for small and medium-sized dogs.  This white collar 48 cm in length (19 g) contains 4.0% deltamethrin which corresponds to 0.76 g deltamethrin per collar.   Scalibor Collar for large dogs.  This white collar 65 cm in length (25 g) contains 4.0% deltamethrin which corresponds to 1.0 g deltamethrin per collar.

Control of infestations with ticks (Ixodes ricinus; Rhipicephalus sanguineus) for 5 to 6 months. Control of blood sucking by phlebotomine sand flies (Phlebotomus perniciosus) for a period of   5 to 6 months. Anti-feeding effect on adult mosquitoes of the species Culex pipiens for 6 months.

The 48cm scalibor collar is to be used on small and medium-sized dogs.

For fastening around the neck.  One collar per dog.  For external use only.   Remove the collar from the sealed protective sachet.  Adjust the collar around the animal’s neck without tightening it too tight.  Two fingers side-by side should fit between the band and the dog’s neck. Slide the end through the buckle and cut off any excess length extending beyond 5 cm.

Contra-indications warnings etc.
Do not use in puppies less than 7 weeks of age. Do not use on dogs with skin lesions. Do not use on dogs known to be hypersensitive to pyrethroids. Do not use on cats. In rare cases localised skin lesions localised dermatitis or erythema pruritus and hair loss can be observed. In case of skin lesions remove the collar until symptoms have resolved. In extremely rare cases neurological signs such as tremor and lethargy have been reported.  If this occurs the collar should be removed.  These symptoms usually subside within 48 hours. In the unlikely event of the dog eating the collar the following symptoms may occur: uncoordinated movements tremor drooling of saliva vomiting rigidity of the hindquarters. These symptoms usually subside within 48 hours. Treatment can only be symptomatic as there is no specific antidote known. Diazepam can be used for symptomatic treatment if necessary.  Do not use with other ectoparasiticides containing organophosphates. As the collar exerts its full effect after one week the collar should be applied 1 week before animals are likely to become exposed to infestation. While occasional contact with water does not reduce the effectiveness of the collar it should be removed before swimming and bathing the dog because the active substance is harmful to fish and other aquatic organisms.

Dogs must be prevented from swimming in water for the first five days of wearing the collar. In rare cases attachment of ticks can occur while wearing the collar.  Under unfavourable conditions the transmission of infectious diseases through ticks or sand flies can therefore not be ruled out entirely.   Operator warnings: Wash hands with soap and cold water after fitting the collar. Do not use this product if you are allergic to triphenyl phosphate.   Avoid letting children in particular those under 2 years old touch the collar play with it or put it into their mouth. Care should be taken not to allow young children to have prolonged intensive contact e.g. sleeping with a pet wearing a collar. Keep the sachet with the collar in the outer carton until use.

FOR ANIMAL TREATMENT ONLY.  KEEP OUT OF REACH AND SIGHT OF CHILDREN.
