Yes wombats with sarcoptic mite infestation or mange can be saved with 8 weekly doses of cydectin (1ml per 10kg) applied to the back. A long pole with a scoop attached can be used to apply the liquid or a plastic door attached to the burrow. Both methods do not stress the wombat as capture is not necessary.

Monthly doses to all wombats on the property is recommended to control the spread of the mites.

The Wombat Protection Society of Australia provide advice and treatment kits.

Untreated the wombat will die a slow painful death.
