ivomec

Question
I have been using ivomec 1%. Should I be using the 27%???
I just sent you an email about Sill, my 6 month old mini-pig with chronic mange.
Thanks

Answer
The 1% Ivo doesn't have much medicine in it. So yes, do try the higher concentration. The problem with the low concentration is that if the dose is too low it will kill most, but not all of the mites.

Weigh your pig and follow the recommended dosage by weight. Give three treatments, two weeks apart (ie, dose #1, wait 2 weeks, dose #2, wait 2 weeks, dose #3). Wash or change the bedding at the second dose, and about a week after the third dose.
