There is a warning online about the use of Ivermectin while using the Comfortis. I believe that what it says is that dogs who are being treated for mange, mites, etc. with Ivermectin should not be on the Comfortis. If I remember correctly, they were referring to the liquid form of Ivermectin. Completely unrelated to this, and before I knew about the Ivermectin being a potential problem with the Comfortis, I changed Scooter's heartworm meds because the Heartgard made him very sick. I was looking at the ingredients for Heartgard and one of them is Ivermectin. You might check with you vet if your baby is on Heartgard to be sure that it's still alright to use. I've switched Scooter to Intercept.

Edit: We must have posted at the same time about the Ivermectin. Thank you so much!
