Why can't dairy cows take ivermectin?

Dairy cows can be treated with ivermectin, but it causes two problems. First, the ivermectin has a milk withhold time - for a specific amount of time the milk from that cow must be thrown away so it can cost the farmer a lot of money depending on where she is in her lactation curve. Second, ivermectin is active against both pests (mites, lice, etc.) and helpful insects like the dung beetle which helps break down the cow patties in the pastures.

How long before scabies are gone Because I think I somehow contracted it and my husband has had them before from his ex and I just want to know how long you can have them or be infected?

Scabies can be passed by sharing clothing, towels and bedding with someone who is infected. However, this is less likely to cause an infection than skin-to-skin contact. It can take up to eight weeks for the symptoms of scabies to appear after initial infection. This is known as the incubation period. You should visit your GP if you think you have scabies. It is not usually a serious condition but does need to be treated. The two most widely used treatments for scabies are permethrin cream and Malathion Lotion. Both medications contain insecticides that kill the scabies mite.Permethrin cream is usually recommended as the first treatment. Malathion lotion is used if permethrin cream proves ineffective your partner has been diagnosed with genital scabies, to avoid reinfection you should visit your nearest sexual health clinic so you can be checked and, if necessary, treated. You should avoid having sex and other forms of close bodily contact until both you and your partner have completed the full course of treatment


How much ivermectin do you use as a dip for dogs with mange?

While you can purchase ivermectin over the counter in pet supply stores, it is recommended that you take your dog to a veterinarian before using any medications. Ivermectin in particular can cause severe neurologic damage and death to certain collie-type dogs. Also, a veterinarian will be able to tell if the skin damage is caused by mange (skin parasites) or by some other cause (bacterial or fungal infection, allergies, etc.) that would not be resolved by ivermectin.
