Asking for my "horse" as he is very I'll and would rather avoid Dr's. I would assume if he is between a 200-250 lb horse he would simply follow that dosing?
The confusion I'm having is all of info I can find about dosing refers to pills not the paste. Also, from what I've read its a one and done for a while or can you stack on doses? What I read say's toxicity builds up after repeated doses but wondering if propaganda to deter use.
Last point I'll make another fren had pointed out in a different thread both Pancur and Ivermectin are made by Merck...I must admit makes me a bit uneasy knowing this. Any recommendations on dosing would be greatly appreciated; thanks frens!
Please explain what a "notch" is, thanks.
NOTCH
Hmmm, ok, I didn't get one of those with my IVM purchase.
If you bought tablets...which aren't any different than the paste...obviously, no...you wouldn't have a plunger with notches on them.
However...ALL anti-parasitics in a tube made for farm animals, use the notched/plunger arrangement.
In case it's not clear....Tablets are no better than the paste available for cheap at your local farm store. Some feel better with tablets...and have the money to spend 10x for the same stuff.
I have both capsules for me and my wife, based on our body weights, from a local apothecary... ivermectin can be bought OTC here in Tennessee.
But I also have two tubes of horse-strength paste, but they did not come with an injection device. I'm not certain how to measure out a human dose from the tubes.
The horse paste tubes are marked at 100kilo increments for weight of horse. I use one each notch represents 100kilo of weight. One tube is good for a 600kilo horse. I get 6 doses per tube. It looks like a big syringe. Does that help?
As I stated elsewhere, my tubes of IVM did not come with a syringe. I may have to resort to a different method to measure out smaller increments of paste. I don't have one of those small electronic scales, but I may buy one just for that purpose.
UNLESS, of course, I can find a properly calibrated syringe somewhere.
Does it indicate the dosage by weight for the full tube?
Only for horses.
Exactly...that's how mine is except mine is in pounds not kilos
