Has anyone used this for their piggies...

I've seen the pipette designed stuff but not seen this one before.
Any advice if it's worth having this in an emergency first aid kit for them ?/

I have seen ivormectin in other forms than the spot on, not a good price for the bottle - 10ml = 5 treatments and the current spot ons cost me £5/box and I use two boxes for 4 treatments (two pippets per piggie), think I would rather use the belphar stuff

When we take our piggies for a health check, nail trims etc every 3 months this is given to them to prevent mites.

It's just with this warm spell we're having atm, just want to be safe rather than sorry and have something handy - hay is a new one and I get really paranoid as it is a farm bale :...

I use Easimec and have done so for a few years now - I would highly recommend it. The one product I would advise against using is a Beaphar one - there have been several reports of pigs having bad reactions to the solution used and the ivermectin used is so dilute that it is pretty ineffectual.

The dosage is 250g-500g=1 drop; 500g-1000=2 drops; 1000g-1500g=3 drops, applied to the back of the neck.

Thanks so much - have just ordered this one, always wary of stuff unless recommended
