What do you mean, real bad first night? Like, a lot, or there were problems with the elimination? (normally what I would consider TMI, but in such cases, knowledge is good.) Thanks.
This is why I'm going to treat all my farm animals on a Friday night. That way they have all weekend to go through that before they have to go back to eating in the field all week.
Wait, whAt? At first I figured you meant treated your diabetic horse for covid with IVM. Did you mean treating the horse's diabetes with IVM? Cause if that's a thing, I'd like to know where to learn more , for my horse's relatives.
My horse is borderline diabetic and has been taking ivm (either the paste or the pills, whichever I can procure) prophylactically for several months now. No ill effects whatsoever. In fact, my horse is more likely to feel "on top of the world" the day after than anything else. i can tell by the spring in his trot! Of course, if your horse actually has parasites, his/her body will react by feeling ill for a while because of the die-off. I searched several topics (with yahoo, not googs) using either ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine combined with such terms as diabetes, autoimmune disease, cancer, etc. and pulled up a lot of scientific papers. i've done this on two evenings and was completely gobb-smacked each time. And I do mean gobb-smacked. Each seems to help with sugar regulation/diabetes, help with/cure some cancers, either on its own or synergistically with other treatments, etc, etc and seems to be a miracle drug. hcq (excuse TMI) blocked my horse up completely, so I no longer give it to him. I ordered it because it is still supposed to be the standard for prophylactic use, but ivm seems like it's made for my horse. Have also tried fenbendazole (canine form, panacur), which is supposed to help with cancer, on my horse, and plan on a course of it for pre-cancerous changes shortly. Zero ill effects from that either. These anti-helminthics seem to do it all. No experience with or research on type 1, but fear not for type 2. It will cure what ails your horse!
Also interested in treating Type 1 diabetic horses. Any further information to what I'm going to say is much appreciated.
I'm no veterinarian, nor pharmacist, just familiar with human Type 1 physiology. And Type 2 is sure to be more complicated as Type 2 horses face a wider variety of unique levels of beta cell production, insulin resistance and dietary concerns.
Pondering it for my Type 1 horse who only takes quick acting insulin in bolus and basal dosing (pump), I can not think of a single reason to be concerned outside of the typical "monitor glucose and adjust insulin / eat accordingly in response to unexpected glucose changes".
That said my horse has never needed Ivermectin (lucky horse!) so I haven't consulted with its veterinarian, nor researched Ivermectins known interactions.
I suspect my horse would be fine, but would pay extra attention if giving it Ivermectin when it is ill, as illness, generally, effects glucose levels in unpredictable ways.
Yea it is harmless, you would need to give your horse 50 tubes to get close to a toxic level. I guess thats why the UN has it listed as one of the 10 most important human drugs of all time.
I am riding a type 1 horse, which is taking Ivermectin weekly in very small doses as prophylactic.
Said horse pooped real bad first night after Ivermectin. Perfectly fine since.

Said horse pooped a long time with a lot of wigglies in the poop.
Ewww ... okay. Thanks. I forgot about the wigglies.

Type 2 horse took it and was A-OK. No worries.
