If I get the Wuhan Virus I'm going to take Heartgard. What's the worse that could happen? If I have any round worms or intestinal parasites they will be gone too. Heartgard is readily available.

Wow, my husband and I were joking about this today, saying wouldn't it be weird if that was the cure, as our dog is due for his heartworm tomorrow. Those pills are NOT cheap for dogs.

Horse owners use it regularly to de-worm their horses........

I’ll just call my local horse vet and get some - one tube for a horse should last our family of 10 many months.......

Ivermectin is a medication used to treat many types of parasite infestations. This includes head lice, scabies, river blindness (onchocerciasis), strongyloidiasis, trichuriasis, ascariasis, and lymphatic filariasis. It can be taken by mouth or applied to the skin for external infestations.

This is a medication for human use

The generic might be used by vets. I’m still looking

YUP; six dogs once a month, cost is cheap compared to heartworm treatment.

Heartworm treatment for the big girl was 2300 bucks, for the little girl it was 1400 bucks.

Don’t ever want to have to go through that again.

Is this the same drug that was used by a man that cured his stage 4 cancer last year?

Yes, it is used for heartworms and all kinds of parasites in horses, sheep, cattle, and pretty much everything else. I have plenty of it on hand. It’s also used to treat mange in dogs, among other things.

“That’s a monthly anti-heartworm pill for dogs if memory serves correct.”

It also is a broad spectrum vermicide when given to dogs at a slightly higher dose. But, certain dog breeds, mostly herding dogs, may have a negative reaction to it.

It can be used as a topical treatment in many species, and works well killing poultry mites when used in this manner.
