Ivermectin IM

[Onthebit]

If ivermectin gets in the muscle what if anything will happen? The bottle says subcutaneous injection only. I am asking cause I may have accidently shot the last 1/3 IM.

Probably just a bit of tissue damage.

My finger too? lol

Hope not ;-) Your finger will give you a good indication of what to expect in the case of the cattle

Mostly tissue damage will result it is hard to get that thick stuff in a muscle
Now the pour on if you dose yourself pretty good will make you kinda queasy and have a headache for a few days but done in the spring ticks don't bother you none all summer
Don't ask how I know this

I am always getting it on me as I try to pour it on the cattle. I should never have worms or ticks. Does it work for flees also?

Trick is to use the gun that you get for free when you buy the product!! Works slick! :lol:

As for injecting the animal the withdrawl time will be longer. You need to check with your vet incase this animal is destined for slaughter in the near future.
Any change in administering any drug will change the withdrawl time, and not for the better!

A Gun? I am in Ontario, and I don't have a gun...............just a bottle, needles and syringes!

They do not automatically give you the gun, you have to ask for it. It is free if you buy larger than the one litre. Since we always buy from the vet, she always puts a gun in our box of goodies. Now i have a stack of guns for the ivermec.

We hang the bottle and gun on the squeeze chute. Makes for easy dosing and safe cause we to have dumped it on ourselves.

The gun is for the pour on not the injectable

Actually they make guns for both, its usually just the adaptor that differs.

I use about 2-5 liter bottles a year so I do have a gun. Buying it in the larger size usually is much cheaper. It works well on cows and larger calves but on smaller calves I pump it into a smaller dosage bottle so I can get the small amount I need. This is when I get it on me.
