I have the Ivermectin tube paste for horses. The collar on the syringe can be locked in 50 lb. increments. It’s easy as pie to select an amount close to my body weight.

I read the Material Safety Data Sheet online before using it and there are no other drugs in it other than Ivermectin. Only the paste carrier and alleged apple flavoring.

That certainly could be, but if you go to a place that specializes in horse care, you will see several brands that combine ivermec and praziquantel.

I aged out of horse sports about 10 years ago so my memory of what was available then might not be accurate.

However I have owned horses, cattle and hunting hounds for many years and have used ivermectin on all.

I much prefer the liquid as with a syringe it is easy to measure for 10 lb. variations in weight.

As for it being dangerous, it may be but I probably have dosed 50 gallons of it and never had a problem.

Note that I did not say I drank 50 gallons.

But I am reminded again of the days ivermectin was new and people got the idea of dosing dogs with horse wormer, as at that time it was not labeled for dogs.

Mention to a veterinarian that you were going to give it to your dog and he would rant. You will kill the dog. The dog will go blind. The dog will become a zombie, mentally retarded. NEVER GIVE IT TO A DOG! Leave it here and we will worm it with the right stuff.

So people would leave the dog and the vet would take it to a back room and give it ivermectin.

Don’t ask how I know, but I do.

Now it is recognized by all as safe except for a few breeds, especially collies and a few others.

So we are seeing the same thing today, except with humans rather than dogs.
