[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 886796, member: 16453"] It is the Collies that have the problem with Ivermectin and as far as I'm aware the Scotch Collies, though I have been carefull with anything with Collie in its name, however the dosage for heartworm prevention is only 5-6 ugm/Kg bodyweight, collies can tolerate up to 50ugm/kg bodyweight. The dosage of Ivermectin for worming livestock is routinely 200ugm/kg, I have used Ivermectin with no problems in dogs up to 600ugm/kg daily, orally with treating Demodectic mange, but I do slowly work up to that dose over several weeks. Another one I have used for Demodex, is the horse wormer Equest Gel, it contains Moxidectin and at the same doseage for livestock is a monthly hearworm preventitive. Usually I can only get the Equest plus gel and it contains Praziquantel at a fairly high dose so will cover your tapeworm as well. Used directly from the tube onto my finger and then wiped on the roof of the dogs mouth it is a cheap form of the tapewormer of choice for dogs. The dosage can be a bit hard to estimate for small dogs accurately, I squeeze out a length for 100kg and then divide it up for the weight of the dog, once you have done this you then know the length to squeeze out for the individual dog.
