i found this on the internet and wondered if this sounded right... dosage, etc...




I have been using 1% Ivomec on my dogs for nearly 20 years now. For any dog you never exceed 1/2cc per "adult"dog (any animal older than 6 months.) on a monthly basis.

I just wet their food and draw it up into a syringe and squirt it on top and the dogs chow it down.

You can give it orally to dogs who are finicky about eating. Take 1/2cc Ivomec and mix it with orange soda about 2cc's worth remove the needle from syringe and squirt it gently down the side of the dog's mouth to the back of the throat.

For Tick/Flea control you can use a product called
Spotton for cattle. Comes in a 1 pint container. Draw up a maximum for an adult dog 3cc's and apply at base of tail, 2 equal spots on the back and at the shoulders. Just like Frontline and Advantage, it's to be applied to the skin. Repeat every 35 days.

The ingredient in this product is called "fenthion" it costs about $30.00 but lasts for a very long time.

I don't use either of these products on dogs less than 6 months old as it's more difficult to break down the correct doseage.

My Ivomec sells here for a $19.95 for a 50ml bottle.

Also, you can use safe-guard for horses the active ingredient is fenbendzole which is the same product in Panacur. A single doseage syringe of safe-guard for horses is a 3 day dose for a puppy. And can be gotten on sale as cheap as $4.95 a tube here.

One can buy a 16 ounce bottle of Pyran-50 which has the same ingredients as nemix for a lot cheaper too. This class of wormer is the pyrantel pamoate. This size costs $20.00 approx. for 16 ounces. Doseage is 1cc per 20 pounds, monthly if you have a wormy environment.

Dogs inflicted with Giardia, you can get "Metronidazole" or brand name Flagyl at any fish store. You can usually find it in a 10 capsule packet for less than $4.00 or you can find it in bottles of 100 at places like Dr. Foster & Smith for not much more.

My father was a vet. I learned much of my information working for him. I have never had any dogs ever get sick or die from using the above treatments nor have any of my dad's patients died or were harmed either.
