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.
We fought it for a 3-4 days. How often are you injecting him with saline? Is he still throwing up? If yes, I wouldn't give him anything orally. If he is drinking on his own and not throwing up, then add some shredded chicken and/or baby rice cereal with his pedialyte so he can get his strength back.
We didn't try a whole lot of other things besides saline. When our lab was sick, my daughters took shifts staying up with him, they gave him 20 cc's of saline every two - four hours depending on how fast his body absorbed the fluids. One daughter would take the day shift; the other daughter took the night shift. It was an entire ordeal. We weren't sure he would make it.
How old is your dog?
T/u for your answer.
8 mos old. Using IV w/ electrolytes, fluid under the skin every few hours. Anti nausea meds and antibiotics also prescribed. Plus some probiotics, colostrum and milk thistle.
Glad ur puppy survived. It’s awful.
Don’t know if you’ve looked into where parvo came from. It’s been a long time and if I remember correctly…“They” were trying to find a new vaccine for cats. Combining sh*t in the lab. “They” vaxed the cats but infected the dogs.
You're welcome.
I am praying your puppy makes it through. It sounds like you are doing as much as you possibly can.
I don't know why the loss of a dog just hits different. I have several labs that run in hunt competitions, and are bird hunting dogs. Last Tuesday, one of the competition dogs passed unexpectedly. She was in perfect health, as far as we know. The trainer talked to the vet who said it may have been a heart attack. Then this week, I see that the dog food I was sending him to feed her had it's toxicity levels tested and it was higher than the normal 'accepted' amounts of heavy metals. I believe now that my dog was poisoned to death through the dog food. The trainer buried her before he saw my request for the necropsy. The entire ordeal was traumatic for the trainer and for my husband and I. I was looking forward to her coming home. She was something special.
I never knew that the parvo virus was engineered through a lab. Figures though. The thing about parvo that scares me is that once its been at a home, a yard, etc.... It's always there. It never leaves.
It’s everywhere anyway. Apparently our coyote population has a huge parvo problem and they roam freely throughout town.
Good news is if a dog recovers, he’s immune for life.
My trainer was saying that parvo is how they control the coyote population. So coyotes have it running rampant. When did that start? I just heard this last week but how long have coyotes been the target of it? Of course, I don't believe that's a natural occurrence, just like I don't believe COVID is 'natural' and vaccines are good.
Your coyotes roam throughout town? Our coyotes still try to avoid humans. I catch them on my game cams and I have seen one a couple times in my pasture.
