Does anyone know where i can buy some Levamisole hydrochloride for treating a 60g hex tank of camallanus worms? I tired looking for it around town but no luck. I did see that tracker supply had a dog de-wormer. it was a powder that you put in there food. it used Fenbendazole which i see can also be used to treat for these worms. would that dog de-wormer work? or should i keep trying to get some of this Levamisole?
Levamisole hydrochloride, Where to buy?

Hey bored,
Levamisole is not being made (at least last time I checked). The manufacturer was unable to get the main ingredient and until they can get it there isn't any. I have had some on back order at Jeffer's Supply for close to a year - none yet. It is a great thing to have on hand - I hate it that I can't get more myself! I contacted AgriLabs and this is what they told me almost a year ago. Wish the news was better.
I'm going to contact Jeffers and get a refund - thanks for reminding me.

The last time I had to buy this stuff I picked it up at a farm co-op in the form of a powdered "cattle/sheep soak", but it's also sold a pig dewormer...the difference being the concentration. It's a bit weird buying a packet large enough to treat "400 head of sheep", so if you go this route keep in mind that you're going to use a very tiny amount. (Helps if you've got dry fert measuring spoons.)
As for the stuff being discontinued...I can't find any mention of that on the internet. I'd check local farm supply store before giving up hope.

Here is a link to a goat herders site and a good explanation about the availability. http://www.theikga.org/forum1/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=163
It is not discontinued, just unavailable. Hopefully they will be able to get approval and it will be back on the market. I have spoken to agrilabs and scoured every farm store with in an hour of my house - it is not there.
HTH,
Ah, I stand corrected.
I did however manage to find some on ebay, but they wanted 3x the price it would normally run.

That is the only way to get any - if you can find someone willing to part with it and are willing to pay the price. I found some from another breeder in MI but they have since gotten out of the fish breeding business. Never thought of ebay - doh - you can find just about anything there. It is great stuff and I hope you find some.
Levamisole Hcl is not the only med that will work.
try fendbendazole/flubendazole tho it works best when administered in food.
the big benefit to levamisole is it works as a bath..but remember it must be dosed at least twice.
