my uncle has been on the vent tube for 2 weeks now. We tried taking him off the vent after week one when he was within permissible limits. That backfired threw him into shock... had an extremely hard time recovering from that, he was on a 60hr stall of not getting better or worse. I convinced my aunt it was time to administer the dose of local honey and ivermectin reluctantly she did it. With that said, after 24hrs he made 15% progress and reduced medication Across the board, his color came back to his skin after being a clammy gray for 2 weeks. 24hrs went by after that no progress... 24hrs another dose was administered and now we are talking about takin him off the vent again 24hrs after his last dose. His blood pressure has stabilized and everything. Looking like this might be his last day or two on the vent,God willing.
MORAL OF THE STORY. If your loved one is on a vent tube do what ever you have to do in order to get the ivermectin in them. We requested an ice pack to move around his head to help with a fever and administered the ivermectin paste and honey mixture in his mouth while moving the ice pack around the head. The second time we requested they cleaned around the vent tube in his mouth and insisted that we see it’s secure made a scene told the nurses to leave and during that time put more paste mixture in his mouth. Now he’s doing really well compared to day one.
Administer ivermectin and local honey it at all cost!!!! your loved one depends on it and it’s critical to thier survival.... who cares what the nurses think it’s at your loved ones expense that should be enough to piss you off and give your courage to administer the dose. NUT UP AND DO IT!!!!
Great to hear about your Uncle! Just curious, how old is your Uncle and does he have any other co-morbities (ie diabetes, high blood pressure, etc)? Was the Ivermectin prescribed or was it purchased in a feed store?
He just turned 62. He’s had high blood pressure that he’s always delt with. But minor surgery’s with galblTter and colon nothing else. No diabetes, never smoked, thin and always active, he waited to long initially to get treated
Horse Paste FTW.
Been getting ivermectin from my local Tractor Supply company. Bought some less than two weeks ago, no problem. Looked at their website yesterday to order more, and it has disappeared. Totally. No ivermectin to be found.
Still there: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/durvet-ivermectin-paste-187-608-g
But not at my local store. I usually order online and then pick it up. It is gone from their website. Never had a problem getting it, but apparently they no longer sell it there.
Chewy has Durvet CHEAP
Do they require a prescription? I tried to order flea and tick stuff for my dog a few years ago, and they wouldn't sell it without a prescription.
Thanks! Just canceled Amazon order (that wouldn’t come till October anyway!). It was half the price, and no they didn’t ask for a prescription. 😎
Just FYI—checked Chewy this morning, and would only let me purchase one tube of Durvet—all bundles of more than one were out of stock, and attempting to purchase multiple single tubes was denied. (Said they only had enough to fulfill one tube of my 4-tube order).
