ivomec ?

a buddy of mine bought some. he is going to inject. i said dilute give orally. does it matter. i heard injecting can start an abcess at point of injection. just want to find out some good advice before he gives it to them. thanks

 

I have always used a 10-1 mixture and gave orally and starting an abcess at point of injection is new to me unless the person is getting air in syringe?

 

Last week Gator gave me advice- IT WORKED PERFECTLY!

I gave orally and have had no problems

My only advice: keep ivomec refrigerated, expiration date will correct then, if you leave it in the warmth of sun or home or kennel area, it will shorten shelf life

 

The only reason the dog might get an abcess is if a dirty needle was used..Other then that it should be fine to inject it.....

 

how do you administer ivomec orally? how do mix it? with food or water? i have a dog who went crazy when he saw needle, so i cant administer injection unto him... so i guess there is another option, to give it orally... a reply is greatly needed... thanks...

ps

would it also help on preventing heartworm?

 

yes it will help in preventing heartworms also.

 

thank you sir...

what do you mean by 10-1 mixture? how's it? tnx

 

i cc of ivomec 10 cc of mix {cooking oil}or whatever you choose and outta that mix 1 cc will treat 40lbs of body weight orally.

 

I say give it by injection. If taken orally it can be hard on the kidneys and this should not be taken lightly! Ivomec can be dangerous if slightly overdosed also.

 

i give half cc ivomec per 50 lbs and mix it with orange juice its kills the bitter taste orally is the best method

 

Suit yourselves its your dogs, but it can also burn the throat. Be careful if you do it orally. Just a warning not shit talkin. lol
