I dont know what to expect to see happen with this at all. I sure wasnt expecting anything on the first day.
We cooked up some ground beef and chicken livers with some squash and beef broth.i mixed in the fenben and vitamins. She slurped it right up.
My wife said she slept all day.its not unusual for her to sleep all day.shes a lazy mutt.
When i came home,i noticed the rancid smelling breath wasnt bad,could usually smell it across the room. I didnt say anything.out of the blue my wife said "i really cant smell her breath". She was drooling some gross looking stuff. I assume the lump popped and was leaking.
The lump on her face looked like it shrunk. I didnt say anything to my wife. Woke up this morning and wife was all excited cuz the lump shrank and she can open her eye all the way. The lump is literally about half the size it was.
I did not think id be giving an update for atleast a few more days or a week. I dont know if these changes are a good thing caused by 1 dosing or its a bad thing indicating the end is near. Ill dose her again this morning and see what happens.
That 112 number sounds correct, I must be recalling it incorrectly. I was thinking the pills I saw were 12mg & must have misplaced the decimal.
Thanks for correcting me on that. I was thinking it was 11.2mg
A week of the 112 didn't kill me, but I am going to recalculate & figure out the proper dosage. A tube a day was pricy.
edit: Seems I screwed up using a percent key on my calculator gave me the 11.2 incorrect answer. When multiplying 6000*0.0187 (0.01 is 1% for those who didn't know) it comes up as 112.2 mg of Ivermectin per tube.
I am suprised I didn't OD on that stuff š¤£
Edit 2 - I have a big horse. Seems it was only a double suggested dose for the week. Still I am grateful for this reminder that I need to do my math multiple times, especially when sick. Off by a factor of 10.
You can take 10x the recommended dose and not get sick. I've done 12mg/day for 5 days thinking I was about to get the cold in the household. I was fine in both regards (no symptoms of cold or od).
I think the back of the box tells you that a study showed after two weeks of double the dosage for horses there were no side effect? I would have to verify the info but Iām sure your horsey is fine! š
