Copper Bolus - Trade Names?

Posted by Marin Waddell on May 10, 2011 at 12:48pm in Health

Does anyone know of any copper boluses other than Copasure? My vet just looked into it for me and ended up having to call all over the place, including down to the US (I live in Canada) and found out from the manufacturer that it is backordered and they don't know when they'll be making the next batch. She found a manufacturer in England but the cost of shipping from there would be high. So if there's another brand available I'd  love to know.

    Basically you need 1 gram per 20 pounds of goat. I only bought size 1 and size 0 capsules. Size 1 holds a gram, and size 0 holds 2 grams -- yes, the larger number is actually a smaller capsule. Between those two sizes, I can dose everyone.

    Can you guys help me with the amount I should separate into? I bought some from Julia (THANKS JULIA!) and my offer HERE still stands if anyone wants to split a bottle with me.

    Thanks so much for posting this! Copasure is the only one I know other than the one from England, which is actually sold in goat and sheep sizes. Jeffers still has the large boluses available, but on the listing for the smaller bolus, it does say that it's on indefinite backorder. Since you have to break open the capsules anyway, it doesn't matter which one you get. Since it's just metal particles, they don't spoil or expire.
