i think thats what it is called? alot of people mention giving it to there piggies when ill. what is it? and where is it from? and what is it used for? also where do i get ivromec (sorry if that is wrong too) from? the mite stuff.
sorry if I'm being dum
thanks
 
Ok mite stuff, that is Ivermectin, so you're right there, used when pigs have mange mites (the ones you can't see). You get it from the vets, and the vets either inject it (which I think is best when you have a very bad infestation) or use spot on, just a couple of drops on the skin.

critical care is a formula used to syringe feed pigs who are not able or not willing to eat
 
you can get critical care from your vet Chez, and Ivermection can get from vets or online, x
 
I don't have critical care just incase but i should really! never know when you might need it

you can buy it from the thistle cavies webshop
 
It is always a good idea to have critical care on hand just in case your piggie is unwell and stops eating. Another thing is vegetable baby food if you can't get critical care but it shouldn't be a problem getting it from your vet.
 
another good internet site that sells xeno 450 (ivermectin spot on) is
vetuk.co.uk
They have been very reliable when i've used them recently. they offer free P&P aswell
 
I can recommend Vet UK my parcel was with me 48 hours from the time I ordered it. You can get the critical care from them (Science Recovery) ,its cheaper than the vets, syringes and the probiotics as well.
