Type of Ivermectin

Posted by Elyse Nicholson on July 16, 2010 at 12:14pm in Health

I was just wondering what kind of Ivermectin people bought for thier goats? I usually get stuff from the vet, but lately it seems to be more a of hasel to get it from him. So I wanted to just buy some for myself at TSC. Do people buy horse? I know whatever kind he is giving me now is 1cc per 50lbs and smells like apples. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

    Just got it! Right where you said it was! And after looking at the dosage, I can see why you'd want to double it!

    Thanks so much Deborah!!

    The cheapest one to get is the cattle injectable, and you give it orally. Double the cattle dosage. They have it at TSC, but I think it might be locked up, so you'll have to ask someone to get it for you. And you'll need to buy a syringe with a needle to get the dewormer out of the bottle. Then you take the needle off the syringe and give it to the goat orally. The other advantage of the cattle type is that you don't have to use nearly as much, because it's more concentrated than the sheep one. And I would much rather give a goat 2 cc of something rather than 12 cc, because they don't exactly like it.
