Oral Ivermectin will not work for meningeal worm, you must inject it (or Dectomax). So if you are in white tail country, you should be injecting. If you're not, you shouldn't be worming regualrly anyway, but only as needed based on fecals.

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
