I know this is off topic, but we need some help. Our dog was just diagnosed with a cancerous tumor on his heart.
🧐 Research Wanted 🤔
We have fenben 222mg tabs. He is going to he 13 years old bit cancer should not be his demise. Should we just follow the Tippens protocol or would it be different for a dog? Prayers please. We already lost 2 dogs in two weeks a last year.🥺
I read on Pet Med MD that Ivermectin is 3 times more effective than Fenben.
Collies & aussies have a hard time with ivermectin. I think it passes the blood brain barrier and collects in their brain & causes neurological problems. I've been reading a little bit about it this week. Because I just got a new puppy and he came with worms. And he's 1/2 australian shepherd.
Is this true for border collies too?
Yes. I lost an English SHepherd this way, she seized silently, paralyzed. It was from a parasite topical that I put on her, I would say any collie breed, sheltie, aussie, border, english shepherd, mix, don't do it unless you can get a genetic panel done at the vets, through a blood draw. If they carry a certain gene,they cannot handle the ivermectin, the vet will know what to look for if you ask him/her.
I think it may be.
Fenben was taken by a man w stage 4 cancer and hes clear of it. He takes it once a month to maintain. Fenben is as good as ivermectin. And fir some easier to obtain.
Pet Med MD didn't mention use in people, but it did discuss the effectiveness in animals.
