Re: can you worm....
This is true, I usually worm with Panacur (same thing) about half way through gestation. I also continue with ivomec monthly while preagnant.kninebirddog wrote:yes

Re: can you worm....
The dose I give is .1 cc per 10 lbs year round. If you are giving ivomectin for heartworms only it is a smaller dose yet.
I use to use the ivomec .27% (basically 1/4 the strength as the 1%) but they quit making it. It was alot easier to measure and give to smaller dogs. I believe my dose on it was .5 cc per 20 lbs.
Below is a copy and paste from another website. I agree with most, but I have noticed fewer ticks since I started using it.
In the mid-1980's, ivermectin was introduced as probably the most broad-spectrum anti-parasite medication ever. It is effective against most common intestinal worms (except tapeworms), most mites, and some lice. It is not effective against fleas, ticks, flies, or flukes. It is effective against larval heartworms (the "microfilariae" that circulate in the blood) but not against adult heartworms (that live in the heart and pulmonary
arteries), though technically it can shorten their lifespan.
