Tapeworm med's?

[anghere]

OK folks I have a question. What if anything have you used to treat tapeworms? I have a heifer I bought some months ago with pretty good blood that just isn't filling out. She came from a farm with less than desirable herd management as far as health goes.

I have hit her with Ivomec twice and vitamins. She eats like a pig and has more grass than she knows what to do with. I suspect she has tapeworms which after reading the label I realized most wormers don't work on. Ivomec Plus injectable does though. I guess I am looking for recommendations for tapeworm treatment. Can't find anything locally so I will have to order some. I was thinking Levisol.

We had one heifer with tapeworms when we bought her. I don;t recall the wormer we used, but we had to do it twice. Once to get the live worms and once to get the newly hatched ones before they matured enough to start reproducing.
The deal is that a vet can check a fecal sample and tell you in a couple of minutes if there is a tapeworm problem or not.

Thanks guys. I used that years ago before the advent of the pour-on's. Wish I had paid more attention to the label but at the time I had not diagnosed tapeworm.
