Can I Use Ivermectin %5 Pour-On on PB Pigs???

[redhen]

Heeelp.... I want to worm my pigs. And i know the vet gave them a shot of ivermectin before.... but can i use the the 5% pour-on for cattle on them?
And if so, how much??
I also have Wazine, but its a few yrs old...

I would think so, since the dose is given by weight.

I believe it is 1ml per/22 pounds of body weight, given orally. Some Iver's say 1ml per/75 lb of body weight.....I have yet to figure out why or get an answer to that.

What is the active ingredient redhen? Usually it will say 1% solution some don't though.

I just seen the title again and it says you have ivermectin.


There is ivo lines too.

I wonder if the 5 % you give orally at 1 ml/cc per 75lbs and the 1 % solution at 1ml/cc per 22 lbs.

I don't think the 5% means the for the active ingredient though....I am not sure what it means.

I do know the 1 % solution is the active ingredient.

I have used the pour -on on my potbellies. I used 2 cc for the 100lbs of piggie. But I forgot where i got the dose... so i would double check

I know several people who use the pour it on Ivermectin on their hogs but I can't get the dosage from them. I would love to be able to use it because I can't restrain the 350-400 lb sows to give them a shot.
