one or two weeks.
This will depend upon the formulation of the ivermectin - there is a mg/ml concentration on the bottle and a mg/kg body weight doseage range for canines. I would suggest talking to your veterinarian to figure out how much your dog specifically should be given for the safety of your dog. However, if you have a collie-type dog, you should not use ivermectin on it - these breeds can carry a genetic mutation that makes them exquisitely sensitive to the effects of ivermectin and you can easily overdose them even when using the lowest label dose.
The correct dose will be determined by your doctor.
Albendazole is a member of the benzimidazole compounds. Ivermectin is a an avermectin.
Yes, ivermectin will eventually expire and need to be thrown away.
So that the patient receives the drug at the correct dose rate and total dose. If the dose rate is too fast harm may occur even if total dose is correct. If the dose rate is too slow the response may be inadequate even if total dose is correct.
Paste dewormers designed for horses should not be utilized in dogs, due to the risk of overdosing and causing serious injury or death.
Yes, but Slugs can carry a parasite called Liver Flukes. The liver flukes can be killed with "Ivermectin Plus" but I'm not sure how to dose a Beardie?
Ivermectin should NOT be used on dogs younger than six weeks old
Yes, Ivermectin is suitable for treating raccoons with mange. Go to a feed store and buy a 30 or 60 ml bottle of Ivomec which is an injectable Ivermectin solution for use in cattle to prevent bots. The dose of Ivermectin to cure mange is one milliliter (1ml or 1cc) per 110 pounds of body weight given every week mixed with a little canned food. You need to mix it just before they eat it. A large raccoon weighs about thirty pounds so it would get about one third of a cc.In three weeks the animals should start getting well. If they do not, then the problem is not simple mange.
