Ivomec

[Black Jack]

Does anyone on here know where I can buy some Ivomec? I used to get it from a breeder but I have now moved and the local Vet will not sell it as a preventative measure - only as a cure - obviously they need to make their money somehow!

Hi, I got mine from this seller on eBay:

I would not recommend anyone brought it from ebay

Why? Do you know anywhere else I can get it?

Because you don't actually know what the product is it could be anything, even plain water. I wouldn't buy any tablets for animals or humans on Ebay. Not sure where else you can get it, but personally don't think Ebay is a wise move.

I would never buy any medication or supplement from the internet,.There are too many "copies" flooding the market.You do not know what is in these cheap products.Much safer to buy from a vet.

Got mine from www.pharmaq.co.uk they make the product so would thought it would be ok. Worked for my pig.

I buy 50ml bottles of injectable ivomec, I buy it on the internet as its a lot cheaper than my vets. There is nothing wrong with buying these products on the internet as long as you use a reputable company. For people with just a few pigs the easiest way to buy it is here http://www.hyperdrug.co.uk/prodinfo.asp?number=IVE1 , I have used the company before for other things, prices are reasonable and they send the stuff out to you quickly

So do you actually inject it then? I'd be terrified! :~D I used to get stuff that I put at the back of their ears.

i
Give it by mouth
Even though I have been shown and have injected, I give it by mouth because noone is around to hold the piggies most of the time.

I have bought the drops from the seller I recommended on eBay, they are the PharmaQ drops that someone else has recommended so you can also go direct to PharmaQ at:
http://www.pharmaq.co.uk/shop/
The drops are sealed. I have used them to treat bad mange in two of my guinea pigs with success so I know they worked well for us :-) You apply them to the back of the neck.

Thanks for that :smitten:

Can you explain what thats a relief bit to me please? I was shown how to do injections on small animals by a vet whom I have known since we were kids. To this safely the animal has to be held by another person. I will inject which I prefer to do if someone is around to hold the animal. Your post came across as sarcasticness towards me. :-\

 

[Black Jack]

I was not being sarcastic at all - I think you have misread my post or misunderstood anyway. I was just commenting that it's a relief that I would not have to inject the Ivomec as I have never done so and would be really scared to. I am puzzled as to why this sounds sarcastic. There was no intention to cause offence.
