I have a buddy that has a cur as a house pet and he brought it to the vet and they vet says he has heartworms she wants to chargge him 300 a visit and 1900 for the heart worms now from my experance with usein ivermec and my understanding it kills and prevents heartworms right his dog is a lil over a year and about 55lbs I should give a 1/2 ml to him for about three months and will this take care of them
If the dog has a good amount of heartworms and you give the normal dosage of 1/10 cc per 10 #'s, it will most likely kill the dog. The Ivermectin actually parralizes the worm. If the dog is infested, the dead worms will clog ther ports up. That equals no blood flow, which means dead dog. I know this for a fact first hand. Try explaining this to your father in law who is upset about loosing a dog he raised from a pup.
