jamie_rob 215 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Has anyone used ivermectin before? Quote Link to post
LaddyLurcher 260 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Yes I got a pup that was infested with demedex mites, I felt sorry for the scabby little thing. Ivermectin sorted it out and advocate kept it away aswel as fleas and worms... He's now 14 months old good looking deerhound x grey/whippet, catches a few rabbits as well. Quote Link to post
LaraCroft 863 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 It works great - just be VERY careful with the dose for bodyweight - you need to be precise. 2 Quote Link to post

LaddyLurcher 260 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Best off getting from the vet, it's not licensed for dogs its intended for sheep and cattle and I can't count so my vet worked out dosage rates for me. Quote Link to post

snappeer 464 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Is it injection Quote Link to post
old school 505 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Ivermectin is the ingredient if I remember correctly?! It can come in both pour on and injection products the pour on takes a little longer to work but is a little more forgiving if you overdose Quote Link to post
J Darcy 5,871 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Do not use on collie based dogs. In fact, if you do not understand the dosages I would not use it on a dog yourself. It is liscenced for Guinea Pigs but not dogs in the Uk... Quote Link to post
steve t 928 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 It can kill collies and ive had terriers have fits after giving it. Quote Link to post
Bigpaws 30 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Be careful when using it mate if ya use too much can kill the dog , couple of people have said never to use it on collie bred dogs , kills the itch in a matter of weeks great stuff , but alot if places ask for a heard number ,wee farm shop ul the road from me sold it nota bother get the classic version thats what i was told to use by the fella that sold it to me any way pal Quote Link to post
snappeer 464 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Got a bottle here ,on its arse now jabbed all my dogs with it never killed any of them,its from ireland but i cant get it any more Quote Link to post
brenner 773 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 My vet always gives ivermec . given orrally with syringe straight Down the throat and that's how I administer it rather than I.v . But far as I know once the first dose is taken from bottle it has a very short shelf life .(I might be wrong on that one ) . Raymond off this site put me on to a good wormer called noromectin , you can buy it in a agricultural shop, same active as ivermec but far as I know has a longer shelf life. Like ivermectin and its cousins It's also for cattle but its a pour on job. I find since your applying such a small dose to your dog externally I.e poured on from arse to base of neck I have found the best way to administer it is to use a syringe without needle, work out dosage and then,while pressing plunger drag syringe across the back from arse to base of neck ( pressing hard against skin) . As said above ... Don't use on collie or collie x and some would even say don't use on any herder breeds . A.t.b Bren... Quote Link to post
