We have a line of dogs with it - Zimectrin Gold daily will clear it up. I use one dial turn per 20 lbs daily or you can use liquid Ivomec .10 per 10 lbs daily. It typically takes a month or so to start seeing results. Red Cell and Bacon Grease over their food also seems to help. Once they have their hair back you can gradually back off the Ivomec and eventually quit giving. Hope this helps and good luck!

do u give the zimectrin gold everyday for the rest of their life? and the ivomec, i've heard in the past that too much ivomec will kill a dog. we've been to vet and done the dips and apparently they didn't help because it was back within 4 months. |

Sorry it took so long my computer has been in the shop!!
We tried Mitaban - it doesnt work, the only thing it does it make the dogs sick. Zimectrin is easier to give versus liquid Ivomec. The vet will tell you that if the dog is heartworm positive not to give it to him as it can kill him. I have been using it on a HW positive (low) dog and it hasnt affected him at all and his hair has all but come back.
As far as dosage lenght, it depends on the dog....I am currently treating one and he has been on it for almost 9 months but his hair is pretty much back - the only thing he lacks is his chest/feet and they are almost cleared up. Once the hair is back reduce the amount you are giving until you wean them off of it and then you should be free-n-clear.
I believe that a combination of good food and a clean pen also...these dogs we have it is definately genetic but we have never had the hair problems return or occur but others whose diets/pen cleanliness never did well - ie. this male we have back now was living in a nasty pen and cruddy food, he was given back because the problem had gotten so bad and the guy couldnt touch him on top of it....after rmonths of getting him tamed down and his hair back he is just as wonderful his big brother and sister.

to answer will ivermec kill your dog if you over dose the answer is yes it will pretty quick but it does work pretty good and if i were the fastest way to rid it is the vet meds not the dip its some shots not sure what it is though maybe try another vet
