SeramaSilly Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Hi there, Just a little confused about Invermectin. Does it treat for worms as well as creepy crawlies?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Yes, it is a wormer. Over here vets can prescribe it for chickens. I get an oral wormer with ivermectin, but have used the skin drops in the past too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat tails Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 According to this site (scroll all the way down) ivermectin doesn’t work against ceacal worms. When in doubt contact your vet and see if you can do a worm count before you start worming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually do as my vet tells me that Ivermectin isn't as broad spectrum as Flubenvet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Yes Ivermectin will kill most external and internal parasites - no need to use Flubenvet as well ‘cos Ivermectin is broad spectrum. I did mine last week as I spotted Red Mite on a broody, won’t do them again until next year unless I spot anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
