    i was going to treat a dog with ivomec (or something like that) and read the side effects and got a bit unshure
    lots of meds have side effects, some very bad and others not so bad

    any of you treated dogs and got nasty side effects?

    At the dosage for heartworm I have never seen side effects and it is generally considered to be quite safe. But, at the dosages for mange I have seen side effects. They consist of uncoordination, drooling, staggering. If you see these symptoms you need to stop giving it to your dog immediately and consult a vet. Also, if using ivomec to treat mange never use it at the same time as mitaban as that will greatly increase the likelyhood of side effects for both drugs.

    depends on what ur treating and how much you use.

    i've seen bad things happen to dogs that are heartworm positive and their owners gave them ivomec. sucks having to watch a dog drown in its own blood and there's nothing you can do about it.
     
  4. I stopped at "or something like that"

    How the fuck are we supposed to know what to reply if you can't even post wtf you're using.

    research the ingredients and Im sure you can find natural products that are just as effective. good luck
     
  7. The point was if you don't even know what you're considering using, how can anybody comment on whether it's safe or not.

    Ivermectin is extremely safe and effective for the prevention and treatment of heart worms. Benthere may have more experience with using it for mange, I have used it for treating it with no problems whatsoever.

    All the medicines available in the market are tested and than authorized to start selling. You need not to worry about the thing.

    Lol Have you not seen all the recalls on drugs? And the lawyers wanting to sue for you? Its a money rackett like most things these days. FDA is a joke. There has been several good threads on Ivomec on here. Use the search box.

    You should search the forum properly.
