| Dog with epilepsy...Interceptor or Ivermectin? Since Max got diagnosed with seizures this week, I've been looking at diet, meds, etc. I've found that there has been an increased incidence with usage of Ivermectin which I use on both of mine. However, I've also read that the increased incidence is in the herding dogs. For those of you that have dogs with epilepsy, what do you use?

| Interceptor. We also use Frontline plus for fleas and ticks.

| Most would probably be fine with either. I'd go the safe route and use milbemycin (Interceptor or Sentinel).

| Thanks for the info. I believe I will switch to interceptor. I already use frontline plus for fleas and ticks. Can't take a chance here with those little buggers
