xScrunchee Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Is this the one I need for mite/lice etc? If so, is it the average price for it? Many thanks Ivermectin drops 0.8% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 My Ivermectin drops (Xeno 200) are 0.02%. They were given to me by my vet. I think others have used the ones you ask about though. **Don't forget....Ivermectin is not licensed for poultry use in the UK** and there is an egg withdrawal period during treatment and for 1 week after. My vet doesn't bother with the egg withdrawal with the Xeno 200, but I don't know if this would be sensible with the 0.8% dose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My vet doesn't bother with the egg withdrawal with the Xeno 200, but I don't know if this would be sensible with the 0.8% dose. Wouldn't you just use less drops rather than more sprays with this product? In theory wouldn't they use receive the same amount of Invermectin?

AJuff Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I've just been out to weigh the hens! How sad is that? I just want to be sure I don't under or overdose them with Xeno 200. Delia the brown Nick is the smallest she weighs 1.4kg = 7 sprays/1.4ml Daisy is a mid size hybrid she weighs 1.9 = 10 sprays/2ml Darcy is a heavy large black rock she weighs 2.8kg = 14 sprays/2.8ml If you used the 0.8ml Invermectin drops Delia would have 2 drops, Daisy 3 drops? and Darcy 4 drops? Exactly how accurate does it need to be to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hils78 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I've got Ivomec in the guinea pig cupboard, I think I'll go & weigh my chooks & give them a drop or 2. Thanks for the figures - I did wonder how much to give. With the guineas I give it orally because sometimes their skin reacts, wonder if you could do this with the chickens? (making sure it is the oral Ivomec & not the injectable). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I use This as I have it in for scale mites on our cornsnake. It's Ivermectin in a 0.02% spray but waaaaaaay cheaper and I can get it from my local pet shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I use Ivomec Eprinex (cattle pour on) and it's the same prices as the one you've spotted on ebay, but I get 250ml for that price. (Ivermectin is not licensed for poultry use in the UK) It's very effective too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oatley Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 We have just been given xeno 450 from the vet. It was very easy because it is basically one tube for a very small bantam, two tubes for the average chicken and multiply up from there.
