We give our dogs heart worm med. and it says on the outside of the box "ivermectin".
The dosage for dogs is very different than other animals. It takes a very small amount, too much will kill them. I did some research a long time ago because I wondered why the price was so high for the dogs pills vs. the horse paste. A dogs dosage is so small that it would be very difficult to dose it properly in a different form.
I have been giving all my dogs the cattle injectable ivermectin for many years for heartworm. They get it once a month.
The dosage is almost exactly the same as for humans based on weight. The dosage for dogs is 1/10th CC for every 10 pounds of body weight.
The dosage for humans is actually slightly lower at 1 CC for every 110 pounds of body weight. POU is right, you don't give it to Collie breeds.
you inject the dogs or give it orally ? "I have been giving all my dogs the cattle injectable ivermectin" can you elaborate on what product and how you administer it?
The product I am using currently is Aspen Ivomax, but I have used a few different brands of the injectable. This is the 1% solution. I put it on some of their wet food, and they will still eat it even though they seem to taste it. From my experience taking it myself it is bitter. I make sure to put enough food out with it that they don't get as strong a taste, but still finish the food in one sitting.
