RE: [RC] RC: Flies and Ticks - Libby & Quentin Llop DVMLiquid cattle injectble is almost identical in composition to horse oral Ivomec (Info for Merck rep.), now available as a generic and cheap ($5-6/dose), ie pointless to inject! It is a functional equivalent to Ivermectin paste. DO NOT INJECT CATTLE IVOMEC INTO HORSES!!!!! lets try that again. DO NOT INJECT CATTLE IVOMEC INTO HORSES!!!!! I have not heard that ivermectin has been shown to kill ticks. It does kill the larvae of a weird parasitic worm that lives in the neck, whose only pathological effect is to cause an allergic reaction in some horses (itchy neck). Perhaps someone else has info on dermatological parasites that are killed by ivermectin?

Last year my grey arab was so allergic to tick bites I had to give him allergy medicine. I ended up giving him a shot of Iver(Ivo)mec for cattle - 1mL/1cc per 100lb body weight - Liquid cattle ivomec (100% ivomec, no additives) can be given orally. I've seen some nasty abscesses from giving it as a shot. Linda Cowles Horse 'N Hound New & Used Tack & Stable Supplies 9155 N.

But then you remember all those moments when you pop up over a hill and are suddenly surrounded by the most stunning views. It's just you and your horse and for a moment time stops and you can hear the angels sing. Therein lies the addiction, at least for me. ~ Leslie Beyers ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
