Monthly Ivermectin Injections - Page 2

I've been using it for years at the rate of 1cc per 110lbs. No adverse affects. I give it orally but any way the dog gets it, it does the job.

The dose used in "heartguard" is translated into 0.06 ml/10 kg of body weight - orally - of Ivermectin 1% solution for cattle. So I give 0.18 cc to a 30 kg (66 lb) dog. This is exactly same dose as they would get from "heartguard". For a 75 lb dog it would be 0.06 x 75 / 2.2 / 10 = 0.2 cc. You don't need to give any more than that to control heartworm. Repeated excessive doses are linked to liver damage and infertility problems.

Kennel von Lotta Where did you get the infor about the liver damage and infertility problems?

Found it on-line in some research results of the toxicity of Ivermectin. I didn't save the page, but if I come across it again, I will post it here.

Please do I have been using it for years, no problem.

I have 3 dogs and I use the horse wormer paste also. I have used it for years and I am pleased with it. A Belgian Sheepdog breeder and judge taught me about it. I like it because I feel it is more economical than the cattle liquid Ivomec.
