Hi All - I don't think this will help those of you in the US and Canada,
but in Europe there is a product put out by Pfizer called Dectomax
(Doramectin).  It is a a generic version of Ivomec.  We've been using it
in the zoo for over a year.  It's great and lots cheaper.  Dosages are
straight equivalents.
 
We finally got a bit of winter here in Israel.  So what do I do, you ask?
I get my jill EB spayed.  Understand that in most houses here we have
composite marble floors - picture a cute little sable jill walking arched
up like an upside down U so her poor shaved belly doesn't touch the coooold
marble floor!  Solution - put food and water by her house door, so except
for bathroom breaks (I drew the line at building an inside toilet...) she
doesn't have to come out.  She just pops her head out the door hole, grabs
a bite or a drink and disappears back inside.  Boy, I wish some one would
spoil me that way!
 
Take care!
