Giving your dog any medication without consulting a veterinarian is extremely dangerous and could be fatal.
Here's why:
* Dosage varies by dog: A dog's weight, age, breed, and health condition all affect the appropriate dosage.
* Ivermectin toxicity: Ivermectin can be toxic to dogs, especially certain breeds like collies, sheepdogs, and Australian shepherds.
* Incorrect administration: There are different forms of ivermectin, and the method of administration (oral, topical, etc.) is crucial.
Always consult a veterinarian for any medical concerns or treatment for your dog.
They can provide you with:
* Accurate diagnosis: To ensure your dog is receiving the correct treatment.
* Safe and effective dosage: Tailored to your dog's specific needs.
* Instructions on administration: To ensure the medication is given properly.
Remember, your dog's health is your responsibility. Don't take chances with their well-being.
