Chicken shack Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Help please. I am unbale to locate a supplier on Ivomec Eprinex (not licenced for poultry) I can get Ivomec. Amazon do one that has a picture of a cow on the front and comes from the US. I don't want to spend a lot of money only to find I have pruchased the wrong one.

The Dogmother Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 That is the one. Do bear in mind that it's not licensed for use on poultry in the UK. Dosing details are here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't buy it from the US, it will be confiscated and destroyed at Customs if they spot it. It is a prescription only medication here.

The Dogmother Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Sorry, didn't see the bit about getting it from the US... I wouldn't if I were you. Any good poultry vet will prescribe it; it's off-label but recognised as the treatment for lice and mites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken shack Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 I have ordered it form farmworming. They didn't ask for a prescription so they may come back to me and say I can't have it. I also have 3 duck should I treat them also? Thank you all for your help so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be interested to see if you manage to get it- my (normally very helpful) vet wouldn't prescribe it for me for my chooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken shack Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 As I suspected they gave me a refund and said they are unable to supply it. Now what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Chickenshack, please excuse me for asking but why do you need Ivomec Eprinex. If it's for worming Flubenvet will do the job and is readily available. If it's for parasites there are various remedies available including all the Nettex treatments and Xeno 200 which although not licensed for poultry is prescribed by vets and is also readily available.

The Dogmother Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Ivomec Eprinex* is a wormer as well as a systemic treatment for lice and mites; it is a poor wormer but very good at keeping mites like NFM at bay, which Xeno 200 isn't. There's a thread somewhere where I went through it before, but do use Flubenvet as your regular wormer. Having said that, this is all just information; the decision is yours....

Redwing Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 There are other treatment options depending on what you want the product for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
