Does anyone know if you can buy Ivermectin online or is it a vet prescription drug only?
Thinking of this heat and the chances of flystrike - don't want to be calling a vet out at all hours of the night if we can treat ourselves and then go to the vets first thing :?
Thankfully nothing has happened but am worrying as the majority of our buns are really at risk :?
TIA :D
 
Isnt ivermectin used against worms or mites? How would it help for flystrike? does it kill the maggots?
Im sure u can buy ivermectin if its what im thinking of, is it the same as panacur or am i thinking of something different?
 
Yep, Ivermectin helps to kill maggots and also leaves a scent on the skin to stop others hatching :)

It's mainly used for mites etc but is also used for flystrike - I don't want to inject it, just to use it as drops on the buns for prevention :D

If you have no luck from the other place, theres also biophar anti parasite you can get from PAH or ratwarehouse.co.uk the main ingredient is invermectin and worked a treat when i used it for mites, whereas nothing else came close....
