He's getting so big!! Hopefully this is the beginning to the end of issues

Side effects listed were vomiting, sedation, disorientation, unsteady gait, decreased gut movement, slow heart rate… and of course the added coma, seizures and death!!! It is used on dogs to control ticks, mites and lice.

 

[RiiSi]

Oh myHopefully he gets none of those!

Oh wow that's a lot of scary side effects..I would prob be freaking out too..we never did that we just did the ivermectin orally and he had a shot of something that gave him severe diarrhea that we had to go back and get another shot to stop..(that was the end of my upstairs hall rugs) did your vet say why she preferred the dips to ivermectin? Poor guy

From the research that I've done on demodex mange treatments… the dips is the first resort, and then Ivermectin is recommended. Ivermectin has listed some of the same side effects as the dips Let's face it… is is ALL bad whether they take it topically or orally. It's meant to kill these DAMN mites…

Wally will be all better soon Tracey! Good luck!
