Dewormers

[dougdaugh]

Should dewormers be switched up. We vaccinate and deworm yearly in the Spring and have used Cydectin the last 2 years. Did not know if needed to switch up to ivomec or something else. Did not know if the parasites would develop immunities.

Yes to your question.

Yes to your question.

Yup I do.

 

[dougdaugh]

any advice/suggestions on a rotation to use?

 

[Kathie in Thorp]

OK. Next question: What do you use in your rotation? Injectable, pour-on, or ??

I do not rotate wormers. Vet advised to stick with one kind that way you reduce the risk of parasites becoming resisant to all the different ones. That way if one becomes ineffective then you switch to another and it is less likely that the parasites would be resistant. I prefer injectable vs. pour-on, seem to have better results.

Ivomec?

 

[Crazy Farmgirl]

I use ivomec plus as I've had issues with liver flukes.

Does the cydectin no longer work for you? Why switch until you need to?

I use ivomec plus as I've had issues with liver flukes.

I think that's what most folks around here use, especially if some of their water supply is from the river.
