No papers I have Ever read mentioned anything as a Side Effect being Sterility..

That whole tube .21 oz of Ivercare has a Total of 113.00 mg of Ivermectin. For the Treatment of Horses up 1,500 #


So how much do you need to use on a 50# dog ??

I find it easier using Durvet Apple Ivermectin Paste. 1,250lbs horse weight.

Why?

The tube is metered every 50lb of horse weight. The others are 250lbs that I have seen. I don't know how Ivercare is metered.

So I use ONE metered click for all my dogs, 55lbs to 95lbs. There are 25 clicks in the tube.

It is about 4,000 MCG's (micrograms)

I know MTH is gonna give me a lecture,and rightly so,But I split a tube of Equimax for 5 dogs,and Ivercare 10 ways for 10 dogs.I also squirt the whole tube out in a dish and stir it before divideing it up in case of seperation.I also use Panucur every 4th time.

.....when Ivomec was new, I had heard that people thought it was causing sterility problems. Guys that were using injectable cattle ivomec and giving it orally. Hind sight is 20/20. In most cases I think there were other factors for the sterility problems and the Ivomec was just what they saw as a possible excuse.... and it was a common factor among several different breeders in different states at the time.

If it were a factor back then, now most of the genes for Icomec sterility have been weeded out. ;-)

My guess would be a pollutant, possibly an insecticide or pesticide or one of the other gazillion polluntants in our world today. Too much ivomec, its just really tough on there liver.
