Ivamec liquid form Cattle & Swine. DO NOT USE THE IVOMEC PLUS. 1/10cc per 10lbs of body weight. Can be injected or given by mouth. It's approx $40 a bottle & a bottle will last for years for just one dog, keep in the refrig.. I trained labs for almost 17 years till I started working on the road. I have 2 now the oldest will be 16 years old in Dec. Has never been kept inside. No worms, no problems.
Ivomec will not take care of tape worms.
you are right on the Ivamec. My dog got heartworms while on the interceptor but we caught it in time Vet told me that he could treat them but wasnt bad,said he only had a couple and they would die off using Ivamec. This is what the use to treat heartworms but in a big dosage twice. He got tested the other day and just barely showed up so hopefuly next time he will be cleared.
