Mike yes, Termidor and Taurus SC are identical in ingredients and strengths just different brand names and typically Taures is cheaper. In my part of the world it makes the dogs absolutely tick free. It also helps with flies and ear mites.

  Clue, are you still using Termidor for Ticks?

I use the tarus sc for ticks also and conserve for fleas don't have to give it that often it keeps em beat down here it seems I know you can order simpatica and conformis from couple places in Australia I think one my wife orders from is vetmedsforpets.com she gets simpatica to give to there wenier dogs

 I've never been able to tell Ivermectin was effective against ticks on dogs, cattle or horses other than very short term, the pour on helps against flies on cattle for a short time, and to my knowledge the dosage doesn't extend the time it stays in ones system. They did however come out with an Ivermectin product that I think they called Long Range that extended the time in the system to 90 days. But don't know of anyone using it on anything but cattle.
 Glad you have had success with it, but it hasn't been very effective in my country.

  For myself against the ticks I tuck my pants in my pull on boots, wear a t-shirt and a long sleeved shirt tucked in my pants, and spray with 40% deet Repel. The ones that do get on me don't make it to my skin until they reach my neck or face and I feel them and throw them down for seed, don't want to run out of ticks haha.   Folks say I don't know how you stand those shirts in the heat, I tell them if you get hot enough to sweat enough to get damp or wet then it is like air conditioning with the evaporation in the slightest breeze.

The 1.5 cc’s every 3 months…it is known that ivermectin is not as bad as we are told…and reason is probably due to keep folks like us to not use it because there is a ton of money to be made paying for other medications…
My thoughts on the 1.5 ccs…if giving my dogs a 1/2 cc a month to then at 3 months the ivermectin in the dogs system should of minimized enough that I can repeat the dosage…

T-dog…there is no doubt…stress kills in many ways…the root cause has more to do with the mindset and sometimes like the lady you have mentioned, the stress level can be so high that it doesn't matter on the mindset…we are human and just do the best we can…knowing that stress kills is the first step in learning how to manage it as best we can…

   I still use Taurus SC (fipronil the active ingredient) and never see a tick on my dogs after years of use, we have lots of ticks, 4 cc/ml from hips to collar, dose pups proportionally, dip the syringe in the cup of Taurus and wipe it on the top of their ears and the flies don't bite the top of their ears. With the dogs not bringing ant ticks home we almost never have ticks in the yard.
  We only get fleas every few years but use Dominion (Imidaclorpid active ingredient) treat all grown dogs 15-20 cc/ml dose pups proportionally, get it to their skin, belly,under arms, and down back, and in 2 days no fleas and they don't come back from a hatch. I have heard on here that the Dominion has failed to work for some folks.  The Taurus doesn't seem to be bullet proof for fleas nor the Dominion for Ticks.
  This is a very affordable way to treat all these dogs, can't get any of the dog manufactured meds as cheap.
 For example-78 oz. bottle of Taurus is $95.00 and has 576 doses in it, that computes to 17 cents per dog per month, that's $2.04 per dog per year.

That sounds wild

T-dog, I previous to that hunt I had coon dogs, hog hunted with dogs, but the roar in the woods that morning was the loudest I’d ever heard. The man in charge of the group across the road called our man in charge to let him know that a big bear made it into our block. They dumped the hounds in behind him ad ended up baying him on the ground. One of the guys walked in and shot him but not before he killed one hound. Turned out to be a 450lb boar. I’ve got the pics laying around here somewhere.

That is one interesting way to analyze life T DOG,,,,  makes real good sense to me....  thanks for sharing...
