Ivomec (ivermectin) Injection for cattle/swine 1% sterile solution - Wormer safe to use?

Posted by Christina on November 17, 2012 at 10:45am in Health

Out of wormer and needed my husband to pick up some for us to do the goats that need it this weekend. He bought Ivomec (ivermectin) Injection for cattle/swine 1% sterile solution  that is in a 50ml bottler by Merial. Normally we use Safeguard, they were out.

Is this wormer safe to use on my does/kids/buck/wether if they need it? Do I still do 2x's the dose orally? (1ml/cc for 50lbs)

Withdrawal time?

Any concerns I should know using it?

    my does are not in milk and are due in late Feb/early March. Will that be long enough to wait? And use Safeguard in the spring close to birthing?

    Ivomec is safe for use in goats orally, but it has an extremely long milk withdrawal time. And yes, you double the cattle dosage.
