Hi June, Just like with the alpacas did you do a fecal on your horse? No
need to worm any animal unless you have a problem, this just builds
resistant parasites and we don't have many options if these little
creatures get stronger than anything we have to kill them with, not sure
if giving injectable ivo orally , but I do know that they pulled
injectable ivo from horse usage years ago. Quite a few animals died from
the injection. I am also not sure about using the paste on the alpacas
maybe try to contact Dr. Ruthann McCaslin, DVM at
blackalpaca@hotmail.com she will be more than happy to answer your
questions.

need some info, I just recently broke down and used the jeffers
ivermectin horse wormer on my horses ;( with a very wet spring and an
older mare it was needed this year. My question, i have ivermec 'd the
alpacas by mouth for over 10 years(injectible) could i use this wormer
instead seeing its readily available as a occasional one time deal to
keep up with the natural way i've been worming. TIA
