[Gpdd] Health Care - Ivomectin Procedures

[DebraStory at aol.com]

Hello To All Piggies and Slaves:
 
My masters have been having a bout with mites the last few  weeks.  I 
remember reading on the list a while back about someone putting  ivomectin behind the 
ears of piggies for mites.  I should have saved the  posting, but 
unfortunately I did not.  Would someone please tell me the  proper dosage amount to put 
behind the ears of a piggy to treat mites.  I  have the liquid Ivomec.  
Originally, I have been mixing it with apple sauce  in the proper amount and 
syringing it to the piggies, but some of my piggies do  not like the taste and fight 
the syringe.  I thought placing some behind  the ears might do much better for 
these guys, and maybe for all of them.  I  do not wish to overdose any one of 
the piggies, so I need to know how much is  being used.  I would appreciate 
advice on this matter.
 
The Story Piggies and I (Debra) also wish to send sincere  condolences to all 
who have lost a dear fur friend lately.  It seems like  way too many have 
crossed the bridge lately.  We send healing   thoughts, wheeeeps and piggy kisses 
to all of you.
 
My dear Snickers could also use healing thoughts and prayers  right now.  He 
has been very lethargic and has stopped eating and drinking  the last few 
days.  He has lost 3 oz already, and he has his slave scared  to death.  He is now 
on antibiotics and is receiving critical care as  a supplement.  Fortunately, 
he loves CC and is eating it fairly well.   He also ate some of his lettuce 
this morning and drank a little bit of  water.  We are hoping and praying that 
he is on the road to recovery.   Let's hope that he eats even better tomorrow. 
 Three ounces makes a big  difference on a piggy.  He already seems a little 
bony to me.  I  certainly hope that he will start eating pellets and hay real 
soon.  He ate  one of the Oxbow vitamin C tablets this morning as well.  He 
has been  having a little trouble with his back legs (weakness and trouble 
walking), so he  will be getting extra vitamin C for quite a while.  Hopefully it 
will help  that problem. I am sure Snickers would appreciate any healing 
thoughts that are  sent his way.
 
Wheeeeeps from,
Debra, Calico, Snickers, Lilac, Cheekie, Checkers, Princess  and Creampuff
