Iveromec kills all worms EXCEPT some tape worms. I start pups on it at about six weeks and give it once a month. I squirt it on a dog biscuit and just hand it to the dog.

For heart worm prevention you only need 0.1 of a CC for a 76 lb dogwhen using a 1% solution. You do need a higher dose for other worms. I give 0.3 of a CC each month for each dog (30 to 85 lbs) and have no worms except tapes from time to time.

Misconception!

Ivermectin, is not actually a preventative! The purpose of the Iver. is to kill the possible infestation of the larvae that may have occurred over the last 30 days. The reason honest vets say you don't have to give it every month, is because the larvae & the young worm are vulnerable to the Iver. up until 6mo. of age. So theroretically you could dose your dogs every 2 or 3 mo,'s & still be safe, although I wouldn't recomend it!
People constantly use the term preventative when in fact according to my vet you are just killing the larvae from the prior 30 day period. It does not have the residual characteristics that we think it does. It is in fact a good inexpensive wormer that has been used for years. The other micoseption is that it will kill adult heartworm & kill your dog. For the most part this is untrue. I was always under the impression that once they got heartworm, they continue to multiply! "NOT TRUE"! If your dog gets infected, they will only end up with as many heartworm as the host mosquito transfered. What happens is that it has to go through the cycle of the host. So if you have a mosquito bite a dog, then that dog becomes infected, the mosquito's will continue to tranfer the micro. back & forth thus completing the cycle & eventually creating more adult heartworm in your dog until it finally has visual results such as coughing, & overall lack of energy! Don't take my word for it! Find a vet you can trust & ask him. WARNING! A young vet that thinks it might cost him business down the road while he is trying to build a practise might be reluctant to be forthright with the whole story! JMO!
Thank's John

Your vet may have misinformed you!

There is more than 1 type of tape worm! Some people say that the Ivermectin+ will get one of the strains of tape worm, but not the other! I can't verify that through my vet. He says that he has not had enough results to give his oppinion! Whip worms are not an issue with Ivermectin as far as I understand. Just tape!

I call it preventive since it prevents adult heartworm infestation by killing the microfilariae in the blood stream.

Go to oldcountryvet.com and watch the videos by Dr. James Busby.

You will learn a lot about Ivomec for heart worms and also rabies vaccines and lyme disease testing. Many more videos on this sight.

To prevent heartworms in a 50lb dog, is around 150 mcg of ivermectin is needed.

In a 1/2 cc of 1% Ivomec. there is 5 mg of ivermectin.
That is 5000 mcg.

To get the proper dosage .5 cc of 1% ivomec should be cut with 49.5 ml of of propleyne glycol.

This will then cut it down to 100mcg of ivormectin per ml

So a 50lb dog would need about 1.5 ccs of the cut down version.

Usually no immediate side effects are noticed in overdosing hounds. However it is proven and common knowledge that too much ivormectin is hard on the liver.

Never use ivomec plus

A good friend of mine who is a vet (with common sense) told me give 1/10 of a cc of the cattle oral for every 10 lbs of body weight of the dog. Which is what he gave his dogs. It is the exact same medicine that is in heart guard just different suspension. (Give it orally) I have been doing it for over 15+ years. One hound died at 13 yrs old and had it that way every month of his life.

The vet said not to give more or you will over dose them. That is roughly the heart guard dose. You also can't give it to collies just like heart guard it will kill them.

I just measure it in a syringe then shot it in their mouth. My friend by the way graduated #1 from MO Univ. which is always ranked as one of the top schools in the US so he is not just your average Vet.

Like I said been doing it his way for 15+ years no problems.

Hope that helps
