Is the same med used on any worms.
Is the consensus to use ivamectin orally?

I've never heard of ivamectin being used orally, nor noramectin which I
have
also used. They are used as "spot on" treatments, part the feathers on the
back of the neck of your chickens and apply as many drops as your vet
recommends for the size of your chickens.
It does the lot. Worms, lice, scaly leg, any parasites, gone.
It's not licensed for chickens, anyway, it's at your own risk if your vet
lets you have it, it's for cattle.
DO NOT GIVE IT ORALLY. I cannot emphasise this enough. It's a spot on.
Usenet can be dangerous when people give advice when they don't know what
they are talking about.
I hope you haven't given this orally yet.
Let me know.

I've been giving it orally for years. My first chickens had leg mites.
gone in a week. I asked my vet if I could use it topically. He said it
wouldn't work. Since there is a difference of opinion, maybe you
should ask a vet

--------------
We can only get this from a vet here, so what I posted is what I was told by
my vet to do.
