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

There is an egg withdrawal period during and for usually one week after the treatment.

 

It is a POM-VPS-Prescription-only medicine – (VPS =veterinarian, pharmacist, Suitably Qualified Person.)

Hi ,

Thanks for that link - I've noticed that it's American - will they post to UK ? Any problems with customs ?

Thanks, Jenny

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
