Re: [Alpacasite] Help! Safe-guard question

Hi, Christine:
Here's a general rule of thumb for dosing with Safeguard. Take your alpacas weight, and TRIPLE it, and use that guide on the paste tube. So, if your alpaca weighs 150 lbs, dose for 450 lbs. If you're not sure of weights, dose a bit higher - much better in this case to overdose than underdose. Also, you must do this for 3 consecutive days. I am assuming that they were fecal tested, and Safeguard is the prescribed medication.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving - I'm off to see Mom and Dad now, myself!

Subject: [Alpacasite] Help! Safe-guard question

Hello and Happy Thankgiving,
I just had my alpacas delivered last night, my breeder gave me so much
information...my head is reelling.
But anyway, she told my that 2 of my pregnant females need to be given
Safe-guard because of worms but couldn't remember the dose. Could
someone give that to me? I have Dr. Evans Field Manual, but that says
9.1 mg/lb, but that doesn't tell me how many turns of the dial. What
kind of worm does that take care of?
Also, my yearling female has emeria? (sp) and has been prescribed
Albon twice daily. Can anyone tell me about these parasites?
Thank you in advance for your assistance. I will be waiting patiently
for a response so I can medicate the girls...THEN...cook dinner.
