Dosage is very important. The dosage is way above (100 times more)than typical dosages prescribed for dogs. Yes, you may not have any problems, but it can cause chronic problems 8-10 years down the line for the kidneys and/or liver.

Just think about the recommended dosage of using Ivomec. It is 1/10 CC for every 10 pounds. A 50 pound hound uses 5/10 CC or 1/2 CC of Ivomec. Now stop and think just how many doses you get out of a bottle of Ivomec at 50 ml. A ml is equal to a CC. For a 50 pound hound that would mean you get 100 doses. That figures to a cost of $00.75/dose. That is pretty darn cheap and it is much much more safe than using the horse ivermectin paste.

All correct info, however, ivermectin doesn't kill tapes. The Zimectrin GOLD does. It must be the GOLD though. Typically, I use Ivermectin on a monthly basis. Once a quarter, I give Gold instead of the regular Ivermectin. It works great. My hounds stay healthy.

Couple of points to clear up here if I can. Originally the question was asked about ivermectin gold I believe.. That is supposed to go one step further than just ivermectin, in horses anyway. Ivermectin gold is supposed to get tapes also. I have used ivermectin for horses in my hounds since the late 80's. I used it on a rat terrier and he lived till the ripe old age of 19 before I put him down. I got ahold of over a years worth of a vet newsletters way back when I started using ivermectin in my dogs. They had several articles discussing horse ivermectin use in dogs. The dosage they recommended was one notch (100lbs in a horse) for 65lbs. in a dog. Overdosage was discussed many times too, with no concerns of harm to the dog. They basically said it was a safe and easy way to worm dogs. I once accidentally gave a whole tube to a struggling hound and she didn't even get sick. I thought I had just killed her! Collie's were the only breed they recommended not to use it on. I have started using ivermectin gold and rotate it in about once a year with regular ivermectin given monthly. My dogs are all in excellent condition.

Dave,

How much education do you have in toxicology? Yes, you can get lucky and not hurt a dog. The thing is it may not hurt 99 out of 100, but are you willing to bet that once in a life time dog is one out of 100 that it will affect.

There is a reason that all medicines have a recommended dose.

OK this will be my last post on this topic, but it should give you something to think about.

Florida: Legal Drugs Kill More Than Illegal
MIAMI -- From Scarface to Miami Vice, Florida's drug problem has been portrayed as the story of a single narcotic: cocaine. But for Floridians, prescription drugs are increasingly a far more lethal habit. An analysis of autopsies in 2007 released this week by the Florida Medical Examiners Commission found that the rate of deaths caused by prescription drugs was three times the rate of deaths caused by all illicit drugs combined.

The dose makes the poison. The thing to remember is not every individual requires the same dose to cause dire affects. This is true of dogs too!
