went to get ivomec the other night and the only thing they had was horse paste? ran out of everything else. Does anybody have any knowledge of this stuff or used it before? thanks, FUDD

I have been using the 1.87% horse wormer paste on my dogs to prevent heartworm for years. I squeeze it out on my finger & wipe it on their tongue once a month. Never had a dog test positive for heart worms. One tube will treat 4 hounds for about 2 years & sometimes you'll wind up throwing it out because it expires before it's empty. $3.99 @ Tractor Supply.

As far as dosage I treat each dog with a small dab the size of a pencil eraser.

As with anything you should check with your Vet. Our old farm Vet said it's fine.

We have used this some and it works. Dab a little bit out at a time. You will get too much and waste some using the tube.

Same Here the paste is harder to Od your dog on to because its a lower percent Ivermectin

When i used it i would rub a pea size squirt on a piece of bread and they would never know it.

they make it in Apple flavor now. Just went and bought a new tube today. I was also looking at the Zermecterin. Has anyone used that? From reading it, it seems like it might be a good all around wormer for everything.

I also bought a bottle of Ultra Shield for fleas, flies and ticks. Its a horse product that can also be used on dogs over 12 weeks. Last up to 17 days.
