Shelter pigs w/ringworm
I just pulled up the fat content of Critical Care and I don't think it is high enough. I have even used about two teaspoons of corn oil when I was out of STAT and it was fine, just didn't mix with the Program as well. I'm sure someone else on here will know of a suitable replacement though. I would ask the Vet what else would be fatty like STAT. It is 45% fat.
I give one dose. If after four weeks all signs of Ringworm are NOT gone I repeat the one dose again. I haven't ever had to give more than two monthly doses.

Maybe it's the scientist in me, but I'm just wondering how a oral treatment for fleas can be effective against a fungus?
I had a roomate the caught ringworm in college and she used a skin cream to get rid of it.

I hope you're not suggesting it, Mel. It's way too harsh for pigs and should only be used as a very last resort.

I guess some people have had problems with this drug. One person even claimed it caused the death of a young cavy. I don't remember anything else specific but around here it seems to be recommended only as a last resort, as E said. And there are other things that are safer and effective too.

I guess malessezia (a yeast commonly found in dog ears that causes infections) also has chitin in its cell wall. So, lufenuron research is going in that direction. It may be effective against that also at normal doses, but vets are only using it for ringworm and fleas now.
