Imaverol Ringworm Treatment

Yes Imaverol is safe for use in a 1 year old cow/horse/dog.

The datasheet for this product states the following regarding application:

The concentrated Imaverol solution should be diluted by adding 1 part to 50 parts warm water to provide a 2 mg/ml emulsion.
Horses: the lesions and surrounding skin should be washed with the diluted emulsion 4 times at 3-day intervals.

Your application method is great. You will need to put 100mls in 5 lites (5000ml) of water though to make the 1:50 ratio. You should also not apply it every day, it is advised to apply every 3 days for 4 times in total before reassessing with your vet. If your vet recommends daily application though then you should follow this advice.

According to the datasheet this product may be given to pregnant and lactating animals. However it should not be ingested so you should wash the nipples thoroughly after treatment if your bitch is nursing at the time.

You can use these products together but you will need to reapply the cyclospray after every time you have shamoo'd with imaverol, as the imaverol will wash off the previously applied cyclospray. Cyclopsray is an antibiotic spray that will treat/prevent bacterial infections. Imaverol is an anti-fungal wash that will treat fungal infections (mainly ringworm). Neither are indicated at protecting lesions from flies.
If you are unsure of how to treat the lesion your animal has then I recommend contacting your local vet so they can diagnose the problem.

Unfortunately we cannot advise using products beyond the packaging's stated expiry date. The medication at best may not work but at worst may cause harm to your pet.

I will also highlight the following regarding shelf life of this product as per the data sheet:
Shelf life after first opening the immediate packaging: 3 months.
Shelf life after dilution according to directions: 6 weeks.

The dosing guidelines for a dog are pasted below as per the data sheet:

The concentrated Imaverol solution should be diluted by adding 1 part to 50 parts warm water to provide a 2 mg/ml emulsion.
The animals should be washed with the diluted emulsion 4 times at
3-day intervals. While doing this, one should rub thoroughly in the
direction opposite to the hair growth to make sure that the skin is
thoroughly wet. For the same reason, it is recommended that long haired
dogs be clipped before treatment.
Alternatively dogs may be dipped thoroughly in a bath containing the prepared emulsion.

You can use the product in a bath to dip your dog, as advised above. However I would not rinse the product off. You can dry your dog aftewards but it is important the emulsion stays on the skin to act over the treatment period. If rinsed off it cannot perform it's task.

Imaverol is a non-prescription medication so you can purchase this from us for your horse, cow or dog through our website. You will be prompted to enter your pet's details when placing the order. If you are ordering for any animal not on the license of this drug then you will need a prescription, for example if you are ordering for a guinea pig.

If treating a fungal infection such as ringworm then the diluted emulsion of Imaverol will need to be used to wash all areas where the fungus may be present. This will mainly be where the visible patches of hair loss or infected skin are, but the fungi can be present in normal healthy hairs and areas of skin. I therefore advise ideally washing all areas of your dog where hair is present, excluding sensitive areas. If your dog is particularly large and washing the entire dog is not realistic, then wash the areas where patches are present and a little around this too. The infection is usually spread a little further than where visible hair loss/skin lesions are present.

This product is only licensed for use in dogs, cattle and horses so I cannot advise it's use in cats. I recommend contacting your vet for more information on this. The product is a topical wash and cat's often struggle with topical medications, they will be able to provide more suitable alternatives (such as Itrafungol).

I would recommend following the product data sheet regarding dosing, the relavent section is pasted below:

For topical use only.
To be prepared and administered in adequately ventilated surroundings.The concentrated Imaverol solution should be diluted by adding 1 part to 50 parts warm water to provide a 2 mg/ml emulsion. Dermatophytes will extend into the hair follicles. Possible crusts must therefore be removed with a hard brush which has been soaked in the diluted Imaverol emulsion. It is highly recommended that the animal is sprayed entirely at the first treatment so as to reach the subclinical lesions as well.

Cattle: depending on the nature of the lesions, cattle should be treated 3 to 4 times at 3-day intervals. The animals should either be washed with the diluted emulsion or the emulsion should be applied to them with a sprayer or high-pressure cleaning unit.

Horses: the lesions and surrounding skin should be washed with the diluted emulsion 4 times at 3-day intervals.

Dogs: the animals should be washed with the diluted emulsion 4 times at 3-day intervals. While doing this, one should rub thoroughly in the direction opposite to the hair growth to make sure that the skin is thoroughly wet. For the same reason, it is recommended that long haired dogs be clipped before treatment. Alternatively dogs may be dipped thoroughly in a bath containing the prepared emulsion.
