1512.0. "Mites vs. Ivermectin" by KOALA::FAMULARO (Joe, ZKO3-2T43, DTN381-2565) Thu Jun 30 1988 16:56

    Has anyone had good/bad experiences treating their cats for mites with
    a medicine called 'Ivermectin'?  Any info is much appreciated.
    
    Thanks

	Ivermectin (sp.?) was first used as injection wormer for horses/cattle. Too many horses had adverse reactions to the injection both at the site and in general. It was withdrawn from the market - until it became available in as a paste dewormer. It is very effective against all types of internal parasites (at least in large animals) but I have never heard of it for use for mites or external parasites. Linda M
