IVERMECTIN-pour on dosage

[BigBlueHen53]

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond, Redbrew! If my bird were based strictly indoors, I'm sure every 3 weeks of Ivermectin drops would be sufficient. Tricky situation that he enjoys spending time with the outdoor flocks, but I know he would be unhappy if I forced him to stay indoors. Would you happen to know how long the mite-killing effects of Ivermectin last in the system of our birds once applied behind the neck? Does it wear off after only a few days? I initially thought it would kill any new mites that bit him up until his next dose, but considering they say repearğtreatment after 7-10 days is necessary to kill newly hatched eggs, I suppose it does not stay effective for any longer than that?

There is also a Pigeon forum here on BYC. Click on the icon that looks like conversation balloons at the top of the page, then scroll down till you find the heading for Other Backyard Poultry, and look for Pigeons and Doves. Best wishes!

Hi just wondering if you can use ivermectin on chickens I have zinjet.

Did anyone say if zinjet was okay to use ? I have zinjet too but it’s active is less and you usually dilute it so I was unsure if it’s the same
