EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I would like some advice on worming routines. any input would be appreciated.

I always worm once a month i do my best to start the dog on the first or last day so its easy to remember

what do you use? I sure have learned alot from reading these post. Really glad i found this web site.

Martin,

I always worm with Ivomec 1% solution for cattle/swine on the first of the month at 1/10cc per 10 lbs of body weight... this a heartworm preventative.

The following week i'll worm with Safeguard/Strongid paste, about what you put on your tooth brush... this is for intestinal worms. I rotate the Safeguard and Strongid every month.

Same here stuff works good and it'll save you money in the end

x2 This is the same routine and dosages I use except I use safeguard for two months and then switch to strongid for one month.  I don't know why I do it that way. It would probably be easier to just switch every other month like Mike.

I use panacur and strongid. Worms will become immune to strongid after a year or two. Then you use panacur the worms will not become immune to panacur, and if you use it 3 days in a row it will kill everything including tapes. After you are on panacur for a year you can go back to strongid because the worms that built up immunity died off while you were on panacur. For Strongid use 1 CC per 10 lbs. For Panacur use 2.3 CC per 10 lbs. The panacur is $140 per Liter and Strongid is $45 per Liter. For ivomec use 1/10 of a CC per 10 lbs. with a .5 CC max. This is how my vet told me to care for my dogs 7 years ago and it works.

Good question dude, I'm sure a lot of young fellas will find these answers useful.
Mike y'all should sticky this topic

Same routine as Mike, I use the safeguard for goats wormer from TSC.(lasts longer, more product for your $)  I try to alternate between safeguard and strongid as well.

Ivermectin Only

Melarsomine treatment is expensive and often out of reach for rescue groups, shelters, and many individuals. If the dog is stable (Class I), one option is to simply leave the dog on an ivermectin-based preventive. This option has led to a great deal of misconception about the ability of ivermectin to kill adult heartworms. Let us lay the rumors to rest now:

Ivermectin does not kill adult heartworms.
Ivermectin does shorten the lifespan of adult heartworms.
Ivermectin does sterilize adult heartworms.
Ivermectin does kill microfilaria (keeping the dog from being a source of contagion)
Ivermectin does kill L3 and L4 larvae (preventing new infections).
This means that if you opt to treat a heartworm positive dog with an ivermectin-based heartworm preventive only, you can expect the dog to remain heartworm positive for as long as two years and the heartworm disease will be progressing during those two years. This is not good for the dog but certainly beats getting no treatment of any kind. This approach should only be considered for patients who are Class I and may be able to withstand prolonged heartworm infection.

Reuben I was told the same with safeguard.  The folks at the vet supply told me 3 days and so did some other kennel folks.  I worm mine monthly but try to do a 3 day worming every e or 3 months.  That's just what I do and it works, hopefully somone with a little more savvy will chime in:)

thx

And and Oldie but always a goodie!
Great example of what the use of using the search engine can do, bringing back one of my favorites!

I think that subject needs to stay on top somewhere where it is easily accessable? for everyone and maybe what to put in a cutkit those two topics come up every month. popo

worm pups weekly, after a year once a month, ivermectin as base, strongid and panacur, safeguard, mixem up and change often.  check gums often, red is good white is wormy real white is a week from being dead, the hookworms are the killers

The wormer at Tractor Supply sais give them the 3 day dosage once every 6 months....By looking at this thread, that isnt enough?

Blake,

I worm pups once a week starting when they turn 2-3 weeks and slow it down after about 10 weeks of age, and grown dogs... I watch their stool and worm about every 3 to 6 months if all looks good or when the stool looks watery. But runny stools can be from over feeding or a change of food. My dogs are on concrete so re-infestation is low compared to dogs on ground floors.

Do you use Safeguard/Strongid paste for horses on the dogs? 

Yes...10x cheaper

Thanks Rueben. I guess I am ok then, as mine are also on concrete and I watch them pretty closely. I do give the heartworm pill on the 1st of every month too

Do you use the same dosage on dogs as it has on the bottle for goats?

X2

interceptor once a month

Does anyone use valbazen, and if so how much?

Ivomec gold for horses kills everything worm them once. Then 3 weeks later then once every couple months. T dogs worm freehat will keep you're .

Is Ivermectin just a generic form of ivomec or is it totally different? Should I use the same dosage as yall have said to use ivomec? Thanx in advance

Make sure you use name brand ivermectin which is Ivomec.

Ivermectin is the active ingredient...you can buy any brand as long as the active ingredient is the same...I buy generic brand in the paste (Tube)...  the paste is usually 1.87% and the liquid is 1%...

I give ! cc or mil per 50 pounds...been doing it this way for many years...

Great topic

does anyone know if I can give safeguard paste to a female that is prego.

I think she has some type of intestinal worms

I've always done it and never had any problems.

Thank you

I use 2/10ths of 1cc Ivomec 1 percent solution on my mid size dogs once a month. 3/10ths of 1 CC on my big boys. I inject it in a piece of meat and give it to them orally. That is just for heart worm prevention. I then give them a dime size amount of panacur horse wormer once a month to knock out the other types. It works good. When my dogs get cut so bad I can even stitch them up, I take them to the vet and they always test for worms. Never had any issues.

Someone already asked this question, but I didn't see an answer. What dosage of the Safeguard sheep wormer do you use? Do you use the weight ratio on the bottle. I was told the dosage would be more reliable than using the paste form.

I heard 1cc for every ten pounds for the goat/cattle wormer.
So a 50# cur will get 5 CCs orally...



Sonny

Thanks Bowhunter.

I have been trying to locate the link dexter posted a few years ago that shows the mixture for adding ivomec to the valbazen bottle. I cant seem to find it, i think it was off the ukc board or something. If my math is right i think it should be about 50cc of ivomec to 500 cc valbazen. I think it would be way easier to have one bottle to draw from. I always have givin both at the same time anyhow.

25cc of ivamec to500cc of valbazen, & give 2cc per 50 lb dog. shake well  after each draw because it doesn't mix well.
