Jenny Smedley Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hi , As it's getting warmer/Spring is coming, I'd like to both worm & protect my hens from mites , lice etc. I've been reading up on the forum & want to try Ivomec Eprinex pour on as it seems to kill lots of things with one go but everywhere I've searched on the internet I can find EITHER Ivomec OR Eprinex but not one one pour on product called Ivomec Eprinex . What's the difference ? Which is better ? There also seems to be varying advice on dosage , both amount & frequency. Any one got any advice & hopefully a link to a website I can buy the right stuff ? I've read the sticky on worming but I think I'm being dense! Thanks, Jenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Smedley Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Hi , Thanks for that link - I've noticed that it's American - will they post to UK ? Any problems with customs ? Thanks, Jenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Probably not. I posted the link as it contained specific info about the drug. It is just called Eprinex in UK. I imagine that you will need to go to your vet as websites that sell it here tend to require a prescription or proof that you own cattle.. You can get **Xeno 200**, which is what I use, online without the need for a prescription and it is very much cheaper. **Not licensed for use on poultry in UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
