[QUOTE="Commercialfarmer, post: 887150, member: 14544"] Actually it has been a problem in several herding breads. I'm in and out of a lot of small animal hospitals. Seen several healers and several collies over the years. The problem is that in capillaries in the brain where most dogs will keep the drug from entering the brain, affected dogs won't. It is not all herding dogs- not what I was saying. But the problem is that it is highly represented in herding dogs, and you don't know which ones are overly sensitive until there is a problem. wbvs58 the same dosages are used for treatment of heartworms and demodectic mange here. Lot of dogs I've seen were overdosed on horse paste. Too many people take a paste made for a 2,000 lb horse and just rub an unknown amount into a 50 lb dogs mouth. That is a 40 x difference and so being a little off can be a big problem (for dogs that are sensitive). Too much even in a non-sensitive dog can be toxic. My statement isn't to say use it or not. It is just to say that it is very easy to overdose a dog when giving a medication dosed for large animals. Especially if the animal is possibly very sensitive. [/QUOTE]
