I need to get some meds: Ivomec cattle injection fluid and Panacur 2.5% sheep worming suspension.

I am trying to shop around for reasonable prices, does anyone have a favourite website?

Would love to know where to get ivomec. My vet will only let me have such a tiny amount at a time and he charges the earth !

You can pay for a prescription from your vets and get it online all in all for about £35 for 50mls but you need the vet to be happy to prescribe for 50ml for multiple piggies. If you buy direct from the vets it is £60 for the 50mls.
 
Ah thanks Vikki but I wouldn't dream of being a drain on your resources :)

I've just ordered some off the internet.

Thank you ;)

You might find that even though you can order it the company may call you back and ask you to get a prescription. Also be sure you get it from a reputable source I think I got mine from wormers.co.uk but don't quote me on that I ordered it fine but then got a phone call asking for a prescrition from my vet as it is not actually licensed for use with guinea pigs but in cattle and sheep and they will not supply it for any other animal without a presription from a vet to cover themselves for liability.
Not a drain on my resources at all hun as I have so many guineas here I get so many things in bulk I am more than happy to help people out :)
 
Thanks Vikki ;)

I just ordered it on midicanimal.com and it did ask me what animal it was for and I said sheep. Feel a bit naughty. I hope I get it!

Bingo! My Ivomec Super cattle injection fluid and Panacur 2.5% sheep and cattle wormer oral suspension fluid both arrived in this morning's post.

They both say POM VPS on the bottles. What does the latter stand for? And if they are both POM meds, how come I have got my hands on them?

Anyway my question relates to dosage. My pigs are all over the place with their worming - some from resuce (Sophie, that's Caraway and Cinnabar, who I know you'll have wormed, but I'm not sure when they are due again), Fuzzypeg and Pearl were done by Vedra a fortnight ago and little Tuesday is a bit overdue.

What should I do? I want them all to have the same due dates for worming!

Hi Charlotte

The girls were done with Valbazen (from Vedra) about a month ago.

I'd wait and do them all at once - to get them in sync. Lots of people don't worm routinely - if they're otherwise healthy i.e you don't actually suspect worms - I'd hold off until the last one is due and do them all.

I do - but only because I've got so many. I usually worm them on arrival (rescues), my own pigs tend to get done roughly every 3 months. It takes some doing, with that many! I end up wearing most of it :{
 
Oh, hee hee! Ok I think I'll do Tuesday as she's a bit overdue and then wait three months and they can then be done together.

Is the Ivomec super injection safe for pigs as it contains clorsulon aswell as ivomec? :{

I buy panomec injection online as it is just ivomec, nothing else :). Its what my vet uses and you can get it for around £25 online (no prescription required ;)) I use a dropper bottle which I got on ebay but you can also get them at chemists. Dose is 1 drop under 12 weeks, 2 drops over 12 weeks :)

You also need the sheep panacur, not the cattle one.
 
Yes I checked with Vedra and I can use either the Ivomec or the Ivomec Super. The latter just prevents against liver fluke too, but either is safe for pigs.

The Panacur I've got is 2.5% oral suspension for sheep and cattle.

Charlotte x
 
That's the one that goes on the body, not to be given orally, yes? I think that will just protect them from external parasites, not internal parasites or worms.

Is the Panacur I've got ok for pigs?

It's Panacur 2.5% oral suspension (Fenbendazole)
Sheep and cattle wormer

Charlotte x
 
Yep, that's the right description. It's a milky-looking liquid. Since the dose is 0.4ml I tend to syringe it into the pigs mouth in two easy mouthfuls - since it is quite a 'thin' liquid it tends to run out the mouth a tad easier.
 
I was just a bit worried that I needed to have one that was sheep [*]only[/*]. It says on the bottle it's for sheep [*]and [/*]cattle.

Yes it's the milky white liquid. :)

Charlotte x
 
Ah, I know it's the 2.5% solution that I needed, was just a bit confused if there was a 'sheep only' one, as the one I've got says it's for sheep and cattle. But there is a 'cattle only' one I think too, so as long as I've got the one that's suitable for sheep, I guess it's ok. Haven't opened it yet though!

Charlotte x
 
That says Panomec. I have got Panacur. Are they the same thing? I'm now thinking I have bought the wrong stuff? rolleyes

Charlotte x
 
Are they the same thing? I thought there was Ivomec / Ivomec Super and then there was Panacur? Do you mean that Panacur and Panamec are the same thing? Maybe Panamec is a brand name of Panacur?

Is the Pamacur I've got ok sgp, or do I need to buy another?

It's the milky white liquid that CC4 described it as, so I'm ok on that score.

It's called Panacur 2.5% oral suspension
For worming sheep and cattle

I'm no good at this; maybe I should have just taken trips to the vet instead of trying to do it myself! :red

I got confused by Panomec as well Charlotte, I once asked if it was a 'combination' one (word play of Panacur and Ivomec!) but got no reply. Thanks to SGPRescue's link I can see now that it is just Ivermectin - the active ingredient in Ivomec. Panomec is a different brand name I think.

Is the link you posted a straight forward place to buy the Panomec from, SGP, no prescription needed?

Charlotte, the Panacur you have got sounds fine. The concentration and description are spot on, many types of Panacur are the stuff for cattle as well as sheep. If you can link to where you bought it from, that may put your mind at ease if someone else uses the identical product. I always find I am more reassured when others have confirmed it on sight as well as description!
