Re: [RC] dogs and horse wormers- called the DRUG doctor at WCVM - CTH
I called Dr. Trish Dowling DVM, MSc,
DACVIM & DACVCP (all those letters means she is the drug doctor) and
she said the toxicity is dose related. It is best to not be cheap and buy the
right stuff for your dogs.
Nothing makes vets madder then calling them in the middle
of the night because you overdosed your dog with something you bought at the
feed store.
Ivermectin is actually what
they use for heartworm medication in dogs, though at different
concentration/dosages. It is supposedly bad for dogs that have collie in
them due to a mutation.
