Pretty sure he mentioned smearing it in and around the roof of his mouth, along with local honey, so it must be the paste. Awesome to hear his great news.
Doesn't matter it's exactly the same quality of drug made in the same facilities. Just like "fishmox" amoxicillin (for fish tank antibiotic treatment) is exactly the same as what humans get prescribed
Careful. The carrier is what's important! We can't take ivermectin for dogs. Swine cattle and horse work. Be careful with the paste as it sometimes treats multiple things. Those can kill humans! Only ivermectin as an active ingredient. This is not medical advice blah blah blah
I've definitely heard that Cattle Ivermectin has different stuff for delivery. Does anyone know DEFINITIVELY about this, perhaps with a source such as an MSDS or something similar?
My friend sold these to farmers and was a vet tech for years. I don't have sauce, just info from her
Definitely agree, the Durvet brand is definitely recommended. Also, reminder to just take a lick first and examine for rashes, allergic reaction or other side effects as with any new drug
Are the other ingredients inactive or something?
Inactive does not mean irrelevant. You need to know what's in the tube before you just start taking any animal medicines.
You gotta be careful with new drugs, I get a really bad reaction to Amoxycillin (for example).
Agreed, I always have taken a "lick" first for any drugs including ivermectin. You never know and allergies can be terrible. I am not a fan of drugs in general, but they definitely have a place. Luckily ivermectin is very well tolerated.
Also always a reminder to have an epi pen prescribed for your first aid kit
Good advice, thanks
