Then he never came back. Ivermectin is serious stuff. Any who, that is a great idea seeing if your vet will give you options. Sometimes a local vet will instruct a customer to come to our store and buy medicine here, particularly if it is an ongoing issue.

So glad your little guy had a good ending may zoo
Yup, and what a pair these two terriers are. One almost 9lbs and the other 65lbs. Mario must want to see what Bailey would look like with pierced ears as right now he is incessantly chewing on Bailey's poor flopped over ears .

I worked pharmacy for 22 years, so I am very familiar with the pharmaceutical math related to dosing the ivermectin, but I still would not inject it into Mario. Way too little wiggle room, due to his small size, for error since it comes in such a high dose. I could be all but certain I was correct in my math, but death is permanent and I could not live with that error.
