(broken link removed) It's only 3.99.
 
I need that! Thanks!
 
The only good thing about spam mail, lol.
 
Can you give them the equine paste? Is it the same thing? Is it safe?
 
How much do you give them?
 
I think you can give them that kind, but not sure on the dosage. I would guinea lynx it.
 
I don't have a non-free email. :( Poo.
 
Slap, I used horse paste that had 1.87% ivermectin in too. Works perfectly. Just dilute it with warm water and use the link dagwell gave. Be extra careful though since it's given orally.
 
that's what I use on mine. I did the calculations myself instead of approximating the way GL does (not that there's anything wrong with that). I found that if you dilute a quarter tube you get 70 doses (5.67 mcg/ounce, 3.23 mg for a 3.5 pound pig) for pigs that are 3.5 pounds. So one tube will have enough for four treatments for 70 3.5 pound pigs.

edit: If anyone wants their calculations double checked, I was paranoid about making a mistake too. I have a chart with the dose for pigs from less than a pound to 4 pounds.
 
I didn't trust my own calculations, heck, I was nervous still once I followed GL's instructions!
 
That's why I did them myself, because I have a baby, mid sized adult, and fat rat, and I wanted to dilute it differently to make it practical to measure.
