I've been looking for answers on how to help one of my dogs with an allergy that our vets don't know what caused it or how to help him. Which I'm starting to wonder if it's from vaccinations or food (chicken).
So, I started wondering if ivermectin could help him. Then with this new "mysterious" respiratory illness going around in dogs now, I wondered if it would be a good thing to have on hand &/or go ahead and use on my dogs as a preventative.
Someone (sorry don't remember if it was here or on social media) told me to check this Veterinarian's youtube videos out because I wanted to try natural ways to help our dog.
Dr. Jones is a retired veterinarian who shares how to help our pets ourselves using more natural ways, some things we may already have at home. He uses a lot of things we use like Quercetin, Ivermectin (though he hasn't mentioned it for this new illness yet, commenters do suggest it though), Pancur/Fenben, honey, vitamin D3 in way of cod liver oil, ACV, coconut oil, herbal teas ....
Ivermectin for Cancer in Dogs: Doses and Regimens
He does go over dosage in his video, but in the comments someone asked how she could get ivermectin for her dog and this was his answer:
Current studies show Ivermectin to be beneficial for an array of cancers. There are no published animal doses for cancer, but it is used extensively in dogs/cats for parasites. Dog dose of 1mg (0.1cc) per 10lbs daily for a minimum 30 days and assess response.

⭐Also remember that certain dog breeds that have the MDR 1 gene mutation, have bad reactions to Ivermectin, 70% of Collies, 50% of Australian Shepherds, Whippets, Sheepdogs, German Shepherds & some mixed breeds. So if you don't know if your dog has one of these breeds in them, should get your dog tested to see if they can tolerate ivermectin. I know my dogs don't have these breeds in them because I've done their dna on them because one of my past dogs did have a reaction to a medicine and we almost lost her, because she did have collie in her. So after that episode, we had her dna checked and sure enough she had like 12% collie in her, we would never have guessed it.
I gave my 16 year old dog ivermectin because she was having stomach issues and also just to make sure she didn't have any parasites. Worked well. One thing I looked up is that supposedly certain dog breeds can die from overdosing on ivermectin though I don't know if that is true or not anymore. Also, they usually give dogs ivermectin for heartworm medication. You can buy it at pet supply stores but that version is more expensive than getting the horse paste. Lastly the dosing for dogs is way smaller than compared to us but like I stated before, don't know if the information on ivermectin for dogs is true or not.
Whats the dosing for dogs? How much per pound? How many times per day? With food or without?
I can’t seem to find that info. Brain is fried and not working well atm…
Some dosing information that applies to dogs, cats, horses, and humans. Dosing is by weight, not what kind of animal you are, is my understanding.
