Sometimes the ivomec can irritate the throat of the dogs which gives them a cough that mimics kennel cough. To lessen the chance of this happening, I draw up my dose of ivermectin and then add a few cc of flat dr pepper in the syringe.  The dark syrup coats the throat and I've not had any irritation in years. It's not just real common, but I have one dog that is sensitive to it.

Cheers!

At least I'm successful at doing nothing right. I guess it could be worse.

The 500cc valbazen with 10-25cc ivomectin added to it shook up and then an avg of 3cc or so down there throat does the job as these other do i am sure but this way is very cheap.

I do like Mani but I mix with cool aid, I may try the coke idea though because I have a dog that seems to bothered for a day or two after I give it to him.

  This is the way i do it. It is about 50bucks for the valbazen, mix in some ivermec and you are good to go for about a year.
