Wombats suffer from sarcoptic mange, a mite infection that ultimately leads to their death from secondary infections. In 2017, wildlife carers were granted legal approval to treat bare-nosed wombats (Vombatus ursinus) for sarcoptic mange in the field using 4 mL of topical Cydectin® per adult wombat. However, (limited) scientific field trials suggest approved protocols are inadequate which has been supported anecdotally by wildlife carers. Elucidating carer experience is key to holistically advancing understandings of sarcoptic mange treatment. We interviewed 18 wildlife carers regarding the use of Cydectin® to treat free-ranging adult wombats infected with sarcoptic mange which uncovered 43 detailed case studies for examination. Case studies revealed that wildlife carers have used 10–200-mL doses of topical Cydectin® to treat wombats to recovery. These results suggest there is no best-fit for treating wombats in the field, due to individual differences in observed levels of sarcoptic mange severity and differences in wombat behavior. Furthermore, wildlife carers suggested pour-on Cydectin® appeared non-toxic to wombats at rates as high as 200 mL per treatment. We recommend scientific trials should be undertaken to determine the impact and efficacy of the varying treatment regimens, including low and high doses of topical Cydectin® on bare-nosed wombats. This information is required for regulating authorities, and subsequently wildlife carers, and managers, to make fully informed decisions about wombat sarcoptic mange treatment.

袋熊患有螨，螨虫感染最终导致其继发感染而死亡。2017年，野生动植物护理者获得了治疗裸鼻袋熊（Vombatus ursinus）的法律批准），每位成年袋熊使用4 mL外用Cydectin®进行田间窃。但是，（有限的）科学领域试验表明，已批准的方案不足以得到野生动物护理者的支持。阐明护理人员的经验是从整体上增进对睑板man管理的理解的关键。我们采访了18位野生动植物护理人员，介绍他们如何使用Cydectin®来治疗散布有窃魔ge的成年自由袋熊，从而发现了43项详细的案例研究。案例研究表明，野生动物护理人员已使用10–200 mL剂量的局部Cydectin®来治疗袋熊以使其恢复。这些结果表明，由于观察到的窃man严重性水平的个体差异和袋熊行为的差异，目前尚无最适合野外袋熊的治疗方法。此外，野生动物护理人员建议，每次处理时倒入Cydectin®似乎对袋熊无毒，速率高达200 mL。我们建议应进行科学试验，以确定各种治疗方案的影响和功效，包括低剂量和高剂量的局部应用Cydectin®对裸鼻袋熊的影响。需要这些信息来监管当局，然后是野生动物护理者和管理者，以做出有关袋熊斜纹背ge治疗的充分知情的决定。
