Ivermectin goes threw a dogs system in about 24 hours. To kill mange it takes a dose a day for up to 5 days. An thats at around 8 to 10 times the approved oral dose every day. We are talking kidney damage levels or even death in some breeds. To kill fleas you would have to do the same every 2...

I have never seen it work on fleas an this is the first time I have ever seen someone say it does.

Doc, I assume argument that you are a vet? So do you carry some kind of malpractice insurance?

Bear, not everyone wants to dose there dogs with that much. Cloud asked for a needle small enough for .013 cc/ml not .1 cc/ml. To dose .1 cc/ml or 1/10th of a cc/ml you can use a 1 cc/ml needle marked of in tenths but to dose smaller you need something smaller. Insulin needles marked off in...

An insulin needle from the pharmacy is your best bet. U100 3/10 cc insulin syringes come with half unit markings. The marking look like the ones on the left of this pic .013 cc/ml is 1.3 units. If you stepped up to .015cc/ml that would be 1.5 units which would be the 3ed mark in the half unit...

Everywhere I found that did the math said that a 100 pound dog only needs .027 CCs to match Heartguard. That is a bit more than 1/4th of what I give a 10 pound dog for mange. So there is a big spread in what people give.

Quote: This sounds right. I know 1/10th of a cc of Ivermec for every 10 pounds of dog is the mange/mites/intestinal worms dose an way more than the Heartguard dose. I use that does on everything but I have pugs. The dose for demodex is much, much higher than that...

I would think it would fall under it labeled use. It is sold for pigs.... Dont have the bottle siting here or I would read it. (Brother just rescued a dovermen with mange)

once a month for most uses but once a week for 3 weeks for mange.

Quote: on paper it would be 1.15 CCs for the 115lbs 1.60 CCs for the 160lbs an .90 CCs for the 90lbs If you are treating monthly for intestinal worms/mange/mites an heart-worm prevention an your dog is not a dog with a weakness to Ivermectin that is. I have never treated a dog for just...

Quote: The amount of Ivomec in a Hearguard pill is only 250 MICROgrams. 1/10th ML of 1% injectible Ivomec has 1 MILIgram, or 4 times as much This sounds right. I know 1/10th of a cc of Ivermec for every 10 pounds of dog is the mange/mites/intestinal worms dose an way more than the Heartguard...

Heres that video where he says pretty much what we say here. http://www.oldcountryvet.com/youtube_heartworm.html

Quote: I look for this"Ivermectin, 1% Sterile Solution, Injectable" 1/10th of a CC for every 10 pounds is the normal dose for mange an worms. For hartworm I think I have been told it is effectave at 1/10th of that dose but dont have proof of that. I have pugs an they do fine on it. Dont no...

Not all collies an other herding doge are sensitive. Its something like 75 percent are. If you have a dog that you think may be sensitive there is a test that can be done. If your dog is a mutt it may be worth getting that test too. Remember I am not a vet, I dont even play one on TV. My...

I use 1% Ivermectin sterile solution for cattle as swine. I despence it with a 1/2 cc insulin needle. ODing most dogs would take some effort but yes it can be done. Now if you were trying to use a 3cc needle from the feed store it would be hard to do. I inject it in to dressing. Bred soaks it...

Thought I would add that the standard vet treatment for heart-worm is to inject the dog with a arsenic compound. Its poisoning the dog an hoping it kills the worms but not the dog. It can easily kill the dog. It can also fail to kill the worms just as easily. So my question is, is it the best...

Quote: Just quoting this to make sure it gets noticed. Pat This is wrong.... But vets do try to sell this load of hogwash It only kills babys so there is a very low risk of damage to a infected dog. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?A=610 The first step in treatment is...

Quote: Ivermectin is the same thing as heart-guard so the safety is the same if used in the same dose as them. But I can do hundreds of dogs for months an months with a $22 bottle of 1% Ivermectin or pay $40 a month for 6 dogs on heart-guard... Then I can take the same bottle an treat mange...

My pugs I give 1/10th of a CC of 1% injectible Ivermectin for every 10 pounds of weight every month. I use an insulin needle an inject it in to there food. Not to be given to collies or part collies. It kills the babys that are under a month old. It does not kill the adults. It has been used in...
