I swear I did a seach on this forum a couple of weeks ago and there were many posts that said people use Ivermectin de-wormer on their pregnant mares. I read the box on the Zimecterin, and it says "has not been tested in pregnant mares", (among others). So I called my Vets office to see if Ivermectin is safe to use, and I was told, "READ THE BOX"! Grrr!! I went to my local feed store today and read the box of a "generic" brand of Ivermectin and it says it's perfectlly safe for pregnant mares. I am looking for a wormer that includes killing tapes. So is it safe to use the Zimecterin? Or should I just go out and buy the generic one, which I would have bought to begin with, but didn't know they now carried generic ivermectin. Perhaps the Zimecterin has something else in it, that the generic brand that also kills tapes doesn't have?
