Noromectin- oral?
« on: April 23, 2012, 01:11:11 pm »
Does anyone know if Noromectin be given orally? If so is it the same dosage as for injecting?

Not as far as I know Bullseye  :-\ You'd be best to talk to your vet to be certain, there are oral wormers (Panacur, Flubenol to name a couple) but jabbing them is a sure fire way of getting it right  ;)
Your vet should happily supply you with just the right amount complete with syringe and the right size of needle - and would probably come out to show you how to inject in the absence of any local piggy people to help out.

I work at a small animal practice and we use ivermectin orally in dogs, just wondered if the same applied to piggies as it would be less stressful for them....I may have to ring around tomorrow! Thankyou!
