How much Ivomec for dog looseing its voice?

How much Ivomec do you give a dog whos mouth is getting worse by the day? Any info would be great thanks

Hmmm

I've heard of Ivomec being used for alot of things but I have never heard of it beng used simply for a dog loosing it's voice .
Used to be alot of discussion of it being the actual cause of some dogs loosing their mouths but that was never really substantiated and I have my doubts about that .
Ivomec is used to control parasites and is not a cure all for other conditions.

YOU DO NOT USE IVOMEC FOR THAT,IT USED FOR HEART WORM PREVENTION.DOES YOUR DOG HAVE A RASPY VOICE OR IS IT REALLY WEAK.TRY SOME ROBITUSSIUM COUGH SYRUP ON THE DOG AND SOME PENICILLIN PILLS.KENNEL COUGH MAKE THEM LOSE THERE VOICE,IT IS LIKE A COLD.DOES THE SOUND LIKE IT HAS STUFF IN IT'S LUNGS.ALSO THE DOG DOES COUGH UP A YELLOWISH LOOKING STUFF OR YOUR DOG COULD HAVE LEARINGUSTIONS,LIKE WE GET A COLD.I HAVE HAD DOGS WITH BOTH THINGS AND THEY WILL LOSE THERE VOICE.ASLO YOU GIVE THE DOG SOME AMOXICILLAN PILLS,ALSO IT IS A VERY GOOD ANTIBOTIC.

What about LA -200?

Posted by coonhoundbabe on 11-07-2008 01:22 PM:

Don't use Ivomec!! Use LA-200. 3cc by mouth for 3 days, then go off for 3 days. If no better after the 3 days off, go back to 3cc for 3 days.. It works great...

That LA 200 works!!Had one that had lost his voice down to a barely a squeak and he got every bit of it back.

Sounds like a trick question.

I will go with none as my final answer.

La 200

It is cattle antibiotics. But I've used it on dogs that have lost there voice or hoarse. It works good 2-3 cc right down there throat for 3 days and they'll be fine.

It's an injectable antibiotic that you can get at farm supply stores.
It's sold as an antibiotic for use in cattle and other farm animals and is actually a package name for Liquimyacin. A widely used good broad based antibiotic.

The Ivomec may be responsible for the dog losing it's voice!

The responses about the LA-200 are correct. You can deliver this antibiotic either orally or Intramuscularly...it is probably most effective in the muscle....but whatever works for you.

There are two other steps that you could and most likely should take.

1. Do whatever you must do to stop the dog from barking. Usually a loss in voice is due to over use of the vocal chords, inflammation from infection, or both. Stop the barking

2. Take the dog to the vet and get some cortisone. The LA-200 will treat the infection if one is present, but it will not reduce the inflammation. Likewise, if the inflammation is from over use....keeping the dog quiet will help, but the cortisone will go a long ways to reducing the inflammation....

Remember, that much of this loss of voice can be both temporary and permanent. The temporary loss is likely due to infection, and if treated in time, the dog will recover completely. If from over use, without prompt treatment, the loss is permanent.

LA 200 is a long acting oxytetracline in liqiud form. if injected into the muscle, be careful not to get bit because it burns like a 2@#%$^....i would give it orally to dog..

weak voice

THE COUGH SYRUP WORKS GREAT, THROW THE IVOMEC AWAY BECAUSE YOU ARE WASTING YOUR MONEY,I WOULDNT USE THAT STUFF ON A SICK DOG

Posted by smorris2003 on 11-20-2008 02:53 AM:

I had one do the same thing. I gave La-200 also. my vet said it was good but my vet also gave me some steroid pills to work on the damaged vocal cords. i cant remember the exact name but it was sounded something like presdiszone.

THERES A STEROID THAT WORKS WELL FOR VOICE PROBLEMS! TALK WITH A VET THAT KNOWS ITS OUT THERE.
