[Alpacasite] Re: Stubborn internal parasites

Hi, OSU used Lavamisole on a girl we took there with suspected
resistance to parasites. Caution must be used with it. They
recommend not using it in the first 90 days of pregnancy (birth
defects) or 60 days before breeding when used with open females.
Dosage must also be very exact based on their weight.

It did get of the tapes and nematodes that panacuring did not eliminate
with her. We'd already done a 3 day at 1.5ml/10 lb. treatment that
was repeated again at 30 days. The two treatments had left her with a
VERY high load and resulting anemia. Must have been a resistance
issue as other on our
farm were not similarly affected. She'd only been here for 4 months,
so we wonder if she'd come in with a problem. Because of this
experience we've changed our protocol with incoming animals.
Automatic 3 day treatment, with a follow up fecal.
