Both Ivomectin (in its various tradenames) and Panacur only kill the worms that are present, neither are a preventative.

From memory the Panacur for sheep is a different strength, so you would need a pig one, and as others have said only does internal worms, not external mites/lice, although you should easily be able to see if you have external problems, so if using the pellets is easier then go for that - if you only have a few pigs it is fairly simple to poke a portion in something squashy eg pear and hand to the pig.

Only problem is that Panacur is I believe being withdrawn form sale due to lack of sales and high cost of Gov. licencing making it not worth well.  Not definate on that one, but someone told me I remember, though quite who I cannot remember  - oh to be young again!

dorothy goes nuts when shes jabbed so i got the vet to do it. she went nuts wth him too, so he tied her by the teeth behind a gate. that worked as when they are tied by the teeth(a noose ober the upper jaw) they pull back and freeze.

But how did he get the noose over her upper jaw in the first place, I should like to know?   Often thought of trying it myself with pigs quite determined not to have jabs, but by then they are so uptight there is no way I can get close enough to get anything near their noses at all - Tamsaddle

Buy a Masterject no such problems.

I have a Masterject too but it is useless for injections of 2 ml or less.
