EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Ok I know this topic has keen brought up before just can't seem to find what I need. I have 5 dogs between 40 and 60 lbs. Can anyone tell me how much I should give and how often? Thanks in advance.guys!

i give a tenth of  a cc per ten pound once a month. so a 60 lb dog would get 6 tenths of a cc... thats what i do anyway.

that's correct sir . and once a month

Wow were do u get a syringe that small?

I buy my syringes off ebay -- 1cc .. draw your liquid then take off needle..administer

Ok guys got if figured out lol! The ol lady works in a docs office and she will be bringing me the syringe I need! Thanks guys!

I forgot to add on ebay you can buy 100 syringes for about 12.00 free shipping just have to search different suppliers, the ol'lady's supply will probably run dry after awhile..good luck

a friend of mine told me a little trick. just ball up some bread and put the ivamec in it and give it to the dog. they think its a treat. to me this is easier than forcing it down em or giving a shot. this is how i have been doing it..

gees i just use a 3 cc syring and do the math it ain;t rocket science

Your right its not rocket science, but u get one shot to screw it up then u got a dead or sick dog. I'll take my chances with rocket science.

hell i've double doesed a pup or two by mistake and all it did was worm em twice as good

Keep this in mind, the big heartworm pill has 272 mcgs of ivermectin. And 1/10th of a cc of 1% ivomec contains 1000mcgs of ivermectin. So 6/10 of a cc is 6000 mcgs of ivermectin.

Where did this dozing amount come from?

OS it the wrong dosage?

jd jp the doseing amount came off the bottle for the swine dosage . thats what we use and is vet approved . you see my last wife was a vet tech . only reason i married the vet tech was cuase i couldn't get the vet i went to school with to leave her husband . ivomect is a dog safe drug for just about all breeds except the collie breeds . i worm pregnant gyps 6 week old puppies hell i've even wormed myself when the old cow bucked in the shoot and i poored enough on me to worm a 900 lb heifer . i called the doctor and he told me to come in and get a tapeworm pill . when i asked why all he said  [while laughing ] was i just wormed myself for everything else might as well make shure i didn't have a tape !!!

Ok fair enough. But is it necessary? Does the inj. Version not absorb as good as the pill you can buy?
I know people have been dosing like that for a long time, I've just never read why.

My friend gives his dogs way more than that for manger, but I with about the liver.

jd the low dose in the pill is good for the filllarvea or how ever you say it . but the larger dose is for heart worm prevent AS WELL as a monthly wormer for the dogs the low dose wont do much but make the worms a little woozy . they dont use ivomect in cattle and swine to prevent heart worms it is to remove all worms except the tape . that is the reason for the larger dose .

mix 1cc of ivomec and 9cc of propylene glycol in a old medicne bottle, and give 1cc of mixture per 10lbs of body weight in mouth, (make sure it is mixed)

I use 1 CC or 1 mil for a 40-80 lb. dog. The Ivomec is 1%. The med is pretty forgiving...

I also use the zimecterin paste which is 1.87%. I eye ball the med about 1/2 cc's worth on account it is almost twice the strength.

The 3 cc syringes are cheap at tractor supply or the feed store and I usually use the same one over and over again. just squirt the liquid in the mouth and hold the dogs head up until it swallows and praise the dog. The paste... I just put some on my finger and put it straight into the back of the tongue and close the dogs mouth and hold it shut with the head up until the dog swallows and then praise.

Real easy if done right and a big fight if you don't know how to do it...

What does zimecterin do?   ???

last squeal has it right.  safe very safe. easy on the dog.

 zimecterin is basically ivomec in a paste form if i remember correctly. I dont use it tho just ivomec once a month.

you want a good worm free healhty dog go buy you a bottle of valbazen sheep wormer put 10 cc of ivomect in bottle and shake it up and give according to sheep dosage weight once a month . results= no heart worm, stomach worms ,or tape worms . start pups on it at 6 weeks ok for 2nd month prego gyps and all .

Halfbreed, after you mix the ivomec with the sheep wormer how does it have to be stored at room temp or in the fridge? Just curious.

neither have to be refrigarated but i keep mine in the ice box because it will last a long long time .

Thanks im try that sheep wormer mix, i just use the ivomec now but an all in one sounds good to me.

been working great for me the last 3 or 4 years no problems at all .

halfbreed, what size of the valbazen to mix with the 10cc of Ivomec? I've been giving all adults 1cc Ivomec once a month in a hotdog weiner for over 5yrs. and 3-6mo. pups 1/2 adult dose, all seem extremely healthy, but have wondered it is good to switch up or add to like your formula.

500 ml bottle of valbazen to 10 ml of ivomec Been using the same stuff for several years and it works real good. I give my grown dogs 3 ml once a month I start 6 week pups at .5 ml and work my way up never had any problems

ethunter got it . sorry been getting ready to go a huntin in the morning
