Well duh....
So I'm guessing it's about dosage....Another Duh...
That’s what it is. Some people buy the horse ivermectin and break it down to dog size doses. I’m afraid to do that so I buy it made for dogs.
My dogs occasionally have acid reflux and they get 10mg of Famotidine (Pepcid) for people. They also occasionally take Benadryl. Both were prescribed by my Vet. She said they carry both for dogs but it’s more expensive than giving them the human generic. Dogs can also take Zyrtec and Claritin.
I buy my Ivermectin for the dogs in pill form from Canada. A prescription isn’t required there so it’s much cheaper than here. My little dogs get Heartgard Plus from my Vet because they are small but I get the big dog’s Ivermectin pills from Canada from www.canadavet.com. The dogs are 13 now and have been on it all their lives and have never tested positive for heartworm. They get checked each year. I had my Vet check out CanadaVet and he said it was a great place to buy pet meds. If a person wanted to buy Ivermectin in pill form that is sold according to weight that would be the way to do it.
