I always felt like.1 cc per 10 pounds was pretty diluted and I have given it a different way for 30 plus years...I give about .25 mils once every 2.5 to 3 months...my theory is the high dose will kill all microfilaria and continue to kill any new exposures and as concentration fades away no problem...it takes 6 months for microfilaria to mature to heartworms...they will get hammered in 3 months...the gut feel calculation in my head tells me the microfilaria can not be more than 2 months old at best but more than likely way younger if at all...no science in this thinking just theoretical gut feel...but it is working for me...
I have always felt that the .1 mils per 10 pounds could be ragged edge amount and this can have the potential for error which could lead to a dog getting infected with heartworms...and missing a few days or off a little on weight to ivomec ratios could lead to heartworms and much worse...what you guys are saying...building an immunity to ivermectin...
