Lice Treatment / Questions

[hihobaron]

Ivermectian kills anything that sucks blood internal or external.
Getting your goat to stand for repeated injections is the trick.

for those here who haven't injected ivermectin: the injection is rather painful.

All other avermectins (doramectin - dectomax, avermectin, moxidectin - cydectin pour on) will also work against lice and are less painfull when injected. You could also consider using the pour-on versions.

Hello Sanhestar
I do not use injectable Ivermectican.
Administer Oral as a paste.
The pour on versions work well on "External" parasites only.
Here in the USA the Injectable version was pulled off the market a few years ago.
When it came back I know a few horse people would use it "Orally" on horses.
That was before it was available in paste form.
My comment was related to oral use of paste form. 
For strictly "External" parasites a dust type product is better or pour on.
The dust will degrade/dissipate over a few days so there is no residue to worry about when grooming/petting the animal or contamination of equipment.
I have been know to dust (lightly) saddle blankets from time to time to limit possibility of transfer of pest to another animal.
