I predict the FDA is going to make rule changes on Ivermectin and make the livestock version available via a veterinarian only.
My concern as well. I’ve said for years that if aspirin had just been invented it would be prescription only.
It’s funny that you mention rule changes. The mobile Vet that takes care of my daughter’s goats told her that if there are any animal meds that she likes she should stock up because he predicts that a lot of them will be made prescription soon. She doesn’t use Ivermectin on the goats but she does use a lot of eye antibiotics, etc. that can currently be bought at the local feed and seed.
We are already seeing a lot of places either out of Ivermectin paste and/or jacking the price two or three times higher than normal.
I found it for $7 a tube online and ordered 8 tubes.
Ivermectin is heart worm medicine for dogs also.
