Oh yea and when the vet told me he had to be in the A/C while the treatment process was going on and he had to be penned up for 10 weeks I told her she was crazy!! I was not going to share my house with a 100 pound rottweiler!! He turned out just fine though I put a fan on him.

Ivermec is def. the ticket... Cheaper and more importantly it WORKS. Vets don't recommend it because they don't sell it and the feed store does. Just keep up with the dogs weight so you don't overdose them.
