Which of the following is the correct kind of ivermectin for mites?

[novicecrafter]

I was looking at this site but there are a few different kinds. Which one would be most approriate? I am planning on giving them the size of a grain of rice each. Im almost 100% its mites- though I dont notice excessive scratching I do see small scab type things around my boy's mouth/throat. Thanks for your help=)

You can use any of those paste as long as they're 1.87%. I would buy the smallest tube because you need to squirt it out of the tube and mix it well. Some of the medicine could have separated from the paste and you wouldn't want them to get a dose that could harm them. I have used Ivermectin in the past and had good success with it before I found out about Revolution.

I prefer to use Revolution. There's no guess work or chance of them getting the wrong dose. It's a prescription med and your vet can prescribe the dose.

The only one you don't want to get is the one that has another drug in it (praziquantel) as well.... So just get the cheapest one, basically.

Just remember that with ivermectin you need to treat once a week for three weeks, to end the parasite life cycle.
