Is it safe to work with dectomax shortly after your cows have had the worming blocks? I forgot to ask my vet this when we were going over my vaccination plans today. I used the blocks about 10 days ago--my vet gave me a bottle of dectomax that he wants me to begin worming with. I flat forgot about recently using the blocks. He also suggested that I give them the pour on ivomec when I get them in the chute this week, it just seems like alot at once. Does anyone else use an injectible wormer and a pour on at the same time? From reading the labels it looks like they are for many of the same parasites?

Ive used both with no problems. I will tell you the alcohol base pour on will catch fire if you hit the animal with a hotshot right after you pour it on.

Never have seen a need for it. One or both must be worthless to ahve to use both and you'll never know which one worked adn which one didn't.jallen":3l06xew3 said:

My vet had me use injectable Ivomec Plus and we tubed them with Valbezon at the same time. I have never researched Dectomax, but Ivomec has a wide safety margin for dosage. Don't know much about the blocks either.
Your vet is probably wanting to treat internal and external parasites at the same time.
