Safeguard as dewormer...any opinions?

[Pearce Pastures]

Really?! I could swear I picked up a powdered bag of it and was looking at the directions-it was yellow and white with a pic of a cow or something on it-maybe it was something else ( I am still kind of newbie even though we have had goats for a year and a half, especially since we have young kids for the first time). Even still, I was giggling when he told be what had said to her-definitely not looking for meth . Our TSC Valpo seems like they don't carry a lot of the stuff other TSC's have (like wormers).
Where do you all get your meds from usually. I checked Valley Vet, Hoegger, and Caprine and found some stuff.

I primarily use www.jefferslivestock.com but there are times I need to use some of the other online suppliers too.

Just ordered "Di-Methox Injection 40% 250ml and Ivomec-Pour On 250ml. Nice that they had a promo running too and free shipping. Was cheaper than the other feed store I called.

My medicine cabinet is starting to take shape.

That is great I will be too soon. I think I am going with Iver max however for 250 ml $15.95.

Here is the link https://www.americanlivestock.com/shoppingcart.aspx if your interested for next time.

I also seen on jeffers what you ordered says 0.5% ivermectin.

Doesn't need to be 1% Ivermectin? Just so I get the right thing when I order and use newbies know what we need to get now and in the future.

Good question-I don't know-I thought I got the right stuff but now I'm going to go back and reread. I saw injectable (though it seems others are saying give ir orally) and pour on and decided to get the pour on one but never looked to see what concentration it was.

Just checked the site-it seems that the pour on kind is a lower concentration than the other kind. I am also wondering now if I needed to buy a "gun" for this stuff or if I can just use a regular plastic syringe base-seems like that would be okay since I'm not doing cattle.

That is why I have not ordered or bought any yet....I want to make sure I get the right stuff. Why do things have to be so complicated.

Did you get that blueish/purple box kind?

It says this in the description...."contains 5 mg ivermectin per mL". Hopefully some one will chime in and say that is the right dose still.

Here is a web site I seen that the active ingredient should be 1% ivermectin.

Tons of info there on everything imaginable having to do with goats too. I see they are saying they give it to their goats (1cc/ml per 50 lbs). They use injectable and give it orally as well. That is what is so confusing that there are some many different ways people do things, different products to use etc.

I think a syringe would be the way to go needless of course and give it orally but now I am wondering if you double it now that it is a lower dose?
