Sounds like u got all that info out of a book or off the net... It's a great theory and it looks good in writing but the ability to be technical and the ability to be practical are two different things.
Noelle,
In fact, I did get a good bit of that information out of a book AND off the net. Merck veterinary manual, manufacturers product literature, statistical data, etc. Then I took that information, and applied it in a practical approach. It's called research...see there...the ability to be technical and practical CAN go hand in hand. It's how problems are solved, and methods and techniques are discovered. I get worn out frequently on here by people who do things just because granpappy or 'ole so-and-so the dog man said it was so. I prefer to take the information given, process it and form my own opinion which is based on facts.
Here's a fact for you. Take 30cc's of Ivomec and inject it in your dog and see what happens. That's how much you'll be giving him to properly dose worms with Zimectrin Gold. I question why your using the Zimectrin Gold anyhow if your also using straight Ivomec?
When some of you all on here get your Strongid, what type of container does it come in. The one I get from the vet is a plastic bottle with a label that says strongid on it. It just seems the pups I got look a wormy and I have been giving em the strongid. I was kinda thinking maybe the vet kinda water it down a little to be able to get more out of the supply they sell it from. How young is too young to give a pup Ivomec
The Strongid you should be using for your dogs is "Strongid T". Comes in different containers due to different brands but should be yellow. It is a prescription medication not availble at places such as TSC. I've posted links before on places to buy it inexpensively over the internet.
