Ivomec is a parasiticide used to treat and control internal and external parasites such as gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, grubs, sucking lice, and mange mites in cattle. It’s also used to treat and control gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, lice, and mange mites in swine.
For: Cattle and Swine
Benefits:
•
Treats and controls parasites and mange
•
Kills many types of parasites in a single dose, including internal and external parasites, and liver flukes
How it works: Ivermectin, the active ingredient in Ivomec, works by disrupting nerve impulses in parasites. It binds to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels which occur in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells which leads to an increase in the permeability of the cell membrane, thereby paralyzing and killing the invaders.
Cautions: On rare occasion, tissue swelling can occur at the injection area. Observe cattle for injection site reactions which may be due to infection. Consult your veterinarian if any swelling occurs. Do not treat cattle within 35 days of slaughter. Do not treat swine within 18 days of slaughter. The FDA has received reports of adverse reactions in dogs receiving the drug Comfortis (spinosad) concurrently with high, extra-label doses of ivermectin. Dogs receiving extra-label doses of ivermectin to treat non-responsive demodectic mange and other conditions have developed signs of ivermectin toxicity.

our rottie Dee is now 12 yrs and has been the greatest dog ever! she's suffer with mange for the past two yrs and visits to the vets and insane vet bills -no one has really been able to figure out WHY at such an adult age this has happen other than an immune problem. we used the ivomec and it helped and cleared her skin for a short time but it has kept coming back more meds.At the same time 2 yrs ago they told us she had cancer and it was never addressed. I guess my main reason in writing is i see a lot of you have young dogs be sure to get ins that includes cancer coverage and whenever there's problem that a regular vet isn't familiar with, just like another writer said "you know your dog" take them to someone in that works in that area - believe me you're spending the same amount of money and you and your (child) suffer less. our wonderful dog only has weeks left but we'll make them good weeks. P.S. we've used pet meds often!
My Japanese Chin has had was born with hereditary mites. For the longest time many vets did not know how to treat it correctly. Finally a vet in the country recommended Ivomec. Since then the mites have disappeared. He has to take daily doses but it is well worth it versus the problems that occur with the mites.
This medicine works when used properly. My dog's are cured from "Mange" since last Jan. 09". Their hair has fully grown back and they're back to normal. I tried every home remedy out there with little results. A mixture of perioxiode and Borox applied to the dog's coat after a bath with Dawn dish liquid is a tempory relief for the animal against mites.
Fat Bob has been dealing with Demodex since he was born. The vet put him on Ivomec and it worked. Well they kept coming back and coming back so they found out he has a thyroid condition. he thyroid with meds is normal now. Bob is 3 and he still dealing with this. They vet dont know why they keep coming back but they dont want him to keep taking Ivomec...well this is the only thing that helps him, so I contaced pet meds and I am going to start my own program no one know my dog better then me. I highly recomend this product and suggest everyone use your own judgement, I dont have 1000.00 of dollars to keep taking him to the vet and they dont know why. Thanks for carrying this product I will be continuing to order.
arsenic is usually the only treatment for a dog that has heart worms already BUT that treatment killed my 110 pound rottie in one day so i would talk to a qualified VET and quickly about this med Ver Arsenic. I am not a VET nor am i qualified to give VET / Animal medicine advice. This is only to tell you what happened to MY dog when given Arsenic.
I have been useing ivermectin for over 4 years for heartworms. I have been very happy with it working and keeping my dog healthy. I have been useing it in his food not as in an injection. My question is what is the proper dosage for the size of dog per lb. ?
