Ok, so I am treating my Two Piggies for mites with revolution but would like to have some oral "Horse" Ivermectin in the cupboard as a back up plan particularly because I have pup on the way and may be adopting three more young sows. I am planing on going to TSC tomorrow to pick up a tube, but I have no Idea what brand names I should be looking for. I was Just at the website (broken link removed) there are atleast 6 different brand of horse paste dewormer. What Brand should work best?

I don't think one is better than another. They are all pretty much the same. Just make sure you have the right form of ivermec.

Ditto to RnCL. Make sure the only active ingredient is ivermectin. It needs to be 1.87% if it's horse paste and don't get anything that says "plus" on the label as that means it will have more in it that just ivermectin.
