yeah and i do think ivermectin is off label use in dogs. My friends dog almost died of ivermectin toxicity as derm mixed ketaconazole and ivermectin drugs - not derm i use. The ketoconazole broke the blood barrier wall allowing the ivermectin to go straight to the brain and she went into a massive seizure then coma. It was HORRIBLE. Those drugs should never be mixed. They had to sedate her to stop seizures and suction trachea and she ended up with pneumonia. She had to pay for a 3,000 bill and derm said oops sorry - GREAT
So when the promeris worked she called me from my derm office and was so excited and said it worked it worked she is finally after years demodex free
I learned about it from another yorkie group where owner used it and recommended it so i called our derm and asked her about it for sophie. She said it makes some dogs sick but worth try so we were really nervous after the whole ivermectin toxicity but sophie never got sick and she is doing so well and my friend is so happy.
Here is info on promeris
