Ivomec will not kill an adult heartworm, It will only kill the larve,
I learned this the hard way, as my five year old hound is going through heartworm treatment right now, and she has been on 1/2 CC of Ivomec once a month for the last four years.
Ivomec is a good preventative, but not a cure.
The vet said my dog had heartworms when I got her. I wish I had had her checked.
Oh and I found out that an adult heartworm has of lifespan of six to eight years.
