Its very hard to overdose a dog on Ivomec. For example: when a dog has "red mange", the vet reccommended treatment is 1.5 times the normal body weight dosage, every day for 30 days minimum, 60 days if needed. I had a dog several years ago that was a cull and I knew I was going to cull her, so just to see what would happen, I gave her a whole tube of Zimecterin paste horse wormer (which is Ivomec), enough for a 1250 lb horse, and the next day she was running around like no big deal and wasn't event sick. 2cc of Ivomec aint nothing.

The paste is 1.87 percent ivermectin and ivomec is 1 percent...I did the same with a pit bull that I was going to cull that was 4 or 5 years old and never been on heart worm prevention...like you I did some experimenting with him and he looked like he was having a heart attack later that evening and I gave him an aspirin and he lined back out...I believe I killed to many heartworms too fast and the aspirin thinned his blood to make it circulate better...JMO  |

Did that Cane Corso possibly have heart worms that cut loose and killed him?

Contrary to speculation......Ivomec doesn't kill heart worms nor is it fatal if given to a dog that has heartworms.

Bryant , it kills certain generations of heart worms , right ?
Why would you purposely try to poison a dog ? I don't get it.

Maybe I am wrong but I am almost positive that ivomec as well as other "heartworm treatments" do NOT kill the heartworms, the meds make the females sterile so once the worms have run their course and die off no new worms hatch.......this is what i've been told in the past if I am remembering right.........can anyone support this??

Ivomec kills off the microfilaria (baby heartworms) as well as sterilizes the adults to prevent breeding. Said adults will eventually die off. The average lifespan of an adult heartworm is 5 years. This is a good slow treatment best for dogs that are early on in their diagnosis. Technically, any dog being treated for heartworms is at risk of throwing a clot under high stress activity during it's duration of treatment, as the mature worms begin to die off.
Immiticide which is arsenic based (administered by a vet only) is the chemical that a dog can easily die from during treatment if not kept super calm and on cage rest, because it does kill adults as well, quickly, which can/will clog arteries when a dog get's too excitable. This is a route that is taken in most cases for dogs that have a moderate to severe heartworm infection. This is the treatment where dogs must be on strict cage rest.
Vets now are starting to use Doxycycline along side Ivermectin to treat heartworms. Apparently this is working very well according to studies, and is alot less stressful on the dog, and causes less inflammation.

I hope that's some kind of sick joke. Some people just shouldn't be able to own animals. |
