Little Bo Boop Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 So this explains why we're unable to find levamisole eh? Amazing. 30% of cocaine coming out of Columbia is cut with it. Interesting too, I had no idea that Levamisole was also used in the treatment of colon cancer... No, really officer, that cocaine isn't for me, it's for my sheep! ;-) http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/articl...1ctcvAD9AE1RGO0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Oh good grief. Now we'll probably never be able to get levamisole supplies reinstated for its real use--no doubt it will be pulled for fear that folks are using it for drug manufacture, like strong iodine and methamphetamines. Sheesh! J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderHill Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Oh. Dear. G*d. What next? And to think I just used up my last packet of Levamisole this past weekend... no doubt my sheep are trotting around the pasture in a state of slam-dunk euphoria. If I'd only known it had potential street value instead! Thanks for the link. It's depressing but very interesting. Liz S in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journey Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 No wonder I can't get any....I have been going through the "legal" channels not the black market! I was told something about the plant exploding (NOW it makes sense) and it wasn't going to be available for quite a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenajo Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 So was the lack of supply due to the Chinese earthquakes just urgan, er farm, legend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnewe2 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 You have that wrong....now with your buzz you can be worm free! So are the sheep getting buzzed or is it just us using the drugs that are worm free??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnewe2 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I just went and read the article. I know several people down in the LR AR area that can't find any Lav. anywhere. The worm problem is so bad down there that all my sheep friends are still losing lambs and ewes as I type. They haven't found anything that is helping and have been hunting down Lav. since spring. One friend went to Mexico on business and bought all she could find. It was even hard to find down there. What next??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Wendy, I think the story about the manufacturing in China is true. Probably if the earthquake hadn't happened we'd still be able to get levamisole. I understood there was a US company geared up to manufacture it and just awaiting FDA approval. What worries me now is that the approval won't be forthcoming because of the cocaine connection (just like with strong iodine). If levamisole is less used in other countries then it may still be readily available, but sooner or later they'll run out too and have to find something else to cut the cocaine with I'd imagine. By then of course our government will probably have banned the manufacture and use of the stuff.... (yes, I tend toward pessimism) J.

Lenajo Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I still have a relatively large supply left. I'm only using it for salvage deworm on lambs. And the copper bolusing has cut that way down overall.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenajo Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I'm a lev-hoarder, but Journey's already got dibs if I give some up LOL If I run into another supply in the Jeffer's sale barn I'll let ya'll know.

bcnewe2 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hey Wendy Tell me about the copper boluss' Maybe my friend down in AR can use the advise. I'll send her anything I can find. Her sheep are dropping like flies and so are some other people i know are responsible sheep owners down there. I'm greatful that I moved here for at least the parasite issues! One plus on the CO side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancy in AZ Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Pergolide was withdrawn from the market not so long ago, due to off label usage. The equine community was successful in spearheading an effort to bring it back. Thank goodness, because my sweet old boy, Otis just started on Pergolide since it's apparent he has developed equine cushings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dal & Mad's Mom Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I had to read this and priting the Ap article for work but, I have to know what do they use Iodine to make?? My husband uses claritin D and we can only buy 12 days at a time for fear I might make meth with it. I think I'd be using something alot cheaper to do that. thanks.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
