I had a 50# female accidently get a FULL tube of ivermec horse wormer. She was very sick for a couple of days; was blind and staggeringbut still eating. By the third day she was poor looking but ok and in just a few days she was looking and doing fine.

I give 0.3 of a CC each month (3 lines in a 3CC syringe) of 1% ivermec and have no worms except tape worms. For heart worm prevention 0.1 of a CC is the correct dosage for a 76# dog using 1% solution. I put it on a dog biscuit or bread.

I give all mine 1/2cc once a month of the 1% solution . Their weight varies a bit but that seems to work for all of them. I just squirt it on their feed but mine are all good eaters that clean their food all up. Pups I sometimes put it on dog treats so I know who gets what.

About .1 cc is per 20 lbs is plenty and once every 3 months is plenty. Over-dose can cause permenant liver damage. Ivermectin kills ONLY heartworms. If you're treating your dog with Ivomec as an all-purpose wormer, your kiddin' yourself.

found this out the hard way when i got a neglected female, her toenails were so long they had curled under and were growing into her pads. gave her to much paste in a hurry 1 evening, buried her that night at midnight, hurt me bad after had brought her back to health. did'nt think paste would hurt them up till that day. have treated other peoples since, dogs 6 yrs old that had never been treated and got them heartworm free after about a yr, slowly treating them with liqiud ivermec.

Its a very good possibility that her "sickness" was a result of the dead/dying heartworms and not the ivomec itself. That is why vets will not put a dog on heartworm meds, that have not previously been on it monthly, without a neg. blood test for heartworms. There is the risk of the dead adult hearworms clogging the heart and killing the dog.

Dogs that are genetically hypersensitive to ivermectin (shepherds and the herding breeds) typically don't just get a little sick. They have a genetic anomaly that allows the drug to directly reach their central nervous system and usually have issues related to that - seizures/tremors etc.

For a dog that is not sensitive it usually takes in the 1000xs of an overdose to have any visable symptoms if any at all.

A genetic test can be performed to see if a dog is sensitive to ivermectin.

It says right on the bottle, DON"T Give it to SHeppard type dogs., What was the dropoff wormy dog? Sheppard?? Do you have a clue? Why don't you Sue and find out?

Dosage of ivermectin for heartworm prevention. Proper dosage is 2.72 mcg/lb of body weight. This is same dosage as heargard pills . A 65 lb dog would require 2.72 x 65= 176.8mcg ivermectin. One cc of cattle ivermectin contains 10 mg which equates to 10000mcg/cc. To properly dose your dog you would need to deliver .018 cc of ivermectin orally once a month. Since you can not measure that small amount in a syringe the proper thing to do would be to dilute the ivermectin. I suggest diluting 1 cc of ivermectin with 49 cc of propylene gylcol to yield 50 cc total. This will be a homogenious solution that will not have to be mixed before use. The concentration after dilution will be 10000mcg/cc divided by 50 cc yielding a solution of 200mcg/cc. Your 65 lb dog would now require a little less than a cc orally once a month. I dose mine 1cc and this falls within the acceptable range per the heartgard package insert. Hope this helps

Ray Conrad, Good information. I mix with water and shake before using. ..Why monthly? Considering the maturity rate of heartworms it seems every 3 months would suffice.

If your dog has heart worms give him 50mg of benadryl about 30 min before you give him the ivomec. give him .8 of a cc this will keep it from having an reaction to the larva die off. the medicine does not kill adult worms it kill the larva. It is called the slow kill method for heart worms. adults worms life span is two years if they dont reproduce at the end of this period they will be cured. so in short on your first big dose give benadryl then ivomec then every month for 23 months from that day give him or her .3 cc of the medicine this will keep larva from hatching and your hound will be cured and it will also prevent future heart worms. This came from a well respected vet.
