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!

I appologise for the confusion. Yes Panomec is a brand name for Ivomec.
The animal medicines website in the link above is a legitimate website and you do not need a prescription to purchase it.

As for the panacur it is the 2.5% sheep and cattle panacur I have brought before, didnt realise it was for cattle too :{
 
How do you give the ivomec oral or injection? Would love to be able to get it at a reasonable price ,with 54 piggies it costs me a fortune at the vets.
 
Plus this is the pic of the Panacur I've got...

Oh yes, 54 piggies, it would make sense to do it all yourself from home!

I got:

Ivomec Super cattle injection fluid, 50ml

and

Panacur 2.5% oral suspension wormer for sheep and cattle,
250ml

Total bill was £33.40 from www.medicanimal.com

There's a 10% discount on your first order, plus free P&P for orders over £29.

You have to tell a little white lie to get your hands on these meds, because hardly anything is tested for guineas. I ticked the 'sheep' box when placing my order.

You can give both meds, Ivomec and Panacur, by injection or orally. But, obviously doing it at home, I'm planning on giving it orally.

Charlotte how much of the Panacur will you give per pig as i have just bought some,also will you only give it once or more like the Ivomec and once a week for 3 weeks
 
Well I bought the smallest sizes I could but I'll never get through it all! Still, the Panacur is cheap. I got the 250ml bottle for a tenner. It's use by date is mid 2010.

The Ivomec Super was about £24 and that's 50ml. More of a sensible size bottle! Also, the use by date is 2013!

The Ivomec is a couple of drops (I'm going to buy a plastic pipette) directly into the mouth and the Panacur is 0.4ml directly into the mouth (I'll use a 1ml syringe for that).

Using both of these meds covers the entire parasitic spectrum. It should be done once, every three months I think.

Ah yes, I think if there is an existing problem, there is more of a frequency to the initial doses. The three monthly doses are maintenance.

Can anyone confirm that?

I got my Ivomectin from the above site as well as some Imaverol for dipping against fungal conditions.

One of my piggies looked a bit like she might have ringworm so I thought best to nip it in the bud. I've been to the vets in the past with ringworm and spent weeks batheing the entire herd in Malaseb only to find it reoccurs when I stop the washes...

It looks like the imaverol has worked this time tho...

Does anyone else use it?

Also the Ivomec I got is topical for guineas and not like the sheep/cattle ones others have ordered - is it any good? Why have others not ordered the one for small animals?

Thanks,

Daisy
 
The pictured ones are the products I've used/known Charlotte. I have that same Panacur. :) Thank you for the site and for letting us know the the "little white lie" went through kay. I feel so uncomfortable telling such fibs but, for the good of the guineas...

Sue, as Charlottie said the dosing is simple at 0.4ml Panacur (Valbazen is a suitable alternative) and 2 drops Ivomec (or Panomec!) once every 3 months. Both are given orally as this method reaches any internal/intestinal parasites more effectively. For an existing problem, I believe a short course of wormer is necessary, however I am not sure of the doses and frequency, so will leave that for someone else to answer.

Daisy, the small animal Ivermectin is given topically for topical parasites. I am not sure of the safety of giving topical small animal Ivermectin orally as the concentration may differ to the safe and effective level necessary for worming. The sheep and cattle Ivermectin (brand names usually Ivomec/Panomec) is given orally for internal/intestinal parasites and worms.

ivomec and panacur

Hi
does anyone please know where I can get smaller quantaties? I only have 9 guineas now, and 50mls would be such a waste.
Thanks
Trudy:)
 
Hi

The Ivemec is an even bigger waste if you actualy read the instructions, never mind the use by date it actualy says something like once used it only lasts a couple months! Mind you I have been using my bottle for over a year now without any contra problems, mnd you I do remove it from the bottle through the rubber membrain top with a hypodermic needle on a syringe.

Regards

SGP
 
I know there is an ivermectin product available in only 10ml, but the concentration is weaker so dosage would have to change, and I would have to be sure it can be given orally. I will follow it up.

I do understand what you mean about waste, it's something that has always bugged me too.
