One additional comment... whatever you decide about using Ivermec paste on your dogs... know that it is absolutely taboo for cats, and SOME BREEDS of dogs... Collies/Aussies/ shelties and simular breeds of dogs and ALL cats can get a neurological reaction to ivermec and can be killed or have perminate reactions that can make them have symptoms like epilepsy or inner ear problems (twitching, staggered walking, inability to focus eyes etc) I've seen it happen to a friend... you'll never ever forgive yourself for harming your dog or cat. You can purchase liquid panacur and/or strongid T which are easier to compute the dosage... but unless you are experienced and know exactly how many cc/lb don't do it without consulting your vet for instructions.

Now I'm really confused. I have been giving heart guard to my aussie for 9 years, doesn't it have ivermec in it?

Thank you for the warning.

the products made for dogs for heartworm preventative (Ivomec) ingredient are calibrated for dogs, and should be the safest way to administer heartworm preventative. Heartguard, Interceptor or other similar products were made for dogs, tested to be safe for dogs. As mentioned before, as long as the dose of ivomec is not too much (overdosing) your dog is safe.

In regard to Ivermec in certain breeds, it is fact that certain breeds have a gene mutation that causes some very bad reactions if given ivermec. There has been much debate about this for MANY years. Every collie, sheltie, aussie breeder I know does not use ivermec for anything in their dogs. Origianally, we were always told, if it has white feet, no ivermec. We never gave it to these breeds in rescue or at the shelter.

and the link to find out about the test, lthough if you won't pay for proper medication I don't suppose you will pay for the test either.
