Thank you for this heads up. I have a call into my Vet who will call back tomorrow (he is off today). From what I can gather, it appears the problem occurs when combined with high doses of Ivermectin, like they would use with a difficult to respond mange. She is not on any high doses however, she is on Heartgard that has Ivermectin in it. My concern I suppose now, is that her system is so small and maybe it could cause her a problem even tho it is not administered in high doses.

We will see what he says and I will make a decision then. I just administered these to her recently so I can not 'take it back' but I will definitely research a bit further.

Thanks again!
