Using Ivomec

[Myzomela]

That is the problem when people place their own labels on drugs, medications or chemicals.
In this case it is impossible to be sure which form of ivermectin you have.
For example it comes as:
0.8g/L- oral liquid for sheep
10 g/L- liquid for injection for cattle
10g/L- pour-on for cattle
5 g/L- pour-on for cattle

so there can ba 12.5 x difference in concentration depending on which product is used.

It is only that ivermectin is a relatively safe drug that you can get away with "1-2 drops", and it doesn't even state for what sized bird- an orange breast or a cockatoo?

Most of these smaller bottles of ivermectin are made up from the oral sheep product ( 0.8g/L) but as I've said it is impossible to be sure.

Without even venturing down the road of legality issues with rebottling and reselling smaller amounts of ivermectin, it is the seller's responsibility to include ALL the relevant information regarding the drug, it's concentration and any additives so that the buyer is aware of what they're getting.

And yes you are right about where I got it and who I will just try with one drop for the moment and see. I will get some better stuff next time.

Hi Tigerfan,
The quick answer to your problem is to contact the seller and confirm which Ivomec you have, then dose accordingly. If this is not possible, then maybe you should buy some better labled product.
