Ivomec can be dodgy for some dogs the vet once told me.I did all my dogs with it one day[before i spoke to vet].One terrier bitch got a bad fit and wasn't right for a few days,havn't used it since.

Do yourself a favour, dont use it. If you get the dose wrong it will kill a dog. If it dont kill it it will make the dog spastic. I speak from experience, it made my plummer spastic for 24 hours and i consider myself lucky as he was back to normal after a day. And its a bit more than "dodgy" for collies, it kills um stone dead every time! Its very easy to f**k up using this stuff and if you do you will never forgive yourself.

What a load of Bollocks !!! Ive been using it on hounds and terriers for the last 15 year, thats approx 70 hounds 4 times a year for that last 15, that works out at about 4200 hounds, the worse i've had is a reaction at the injection site ( likely dirt on a needle!! ) the vets want your MONEY so there not likely to do themselves out of it are they? now i think about it i also do my lurchers with Ivomec and they're collie crosses and they're fine too.

call it luck if you like but the numbers speak for themselves

same here use it every year a couple of times gets rid of any mites ,ear mites 30 odd different types of worms and mange mite aswell i give my terriers 0.3 ml and the lurcher which has no collie in her 1.oo ml and have never had any probs its a one shot kill every thing jab ,think the collie myth is when farmers used to jab there collies when they did there cattle probs got the dossage wrong like the same as they would give a bullock or something .never had any probs when the right dose has been given .

just go in any farm supplies and ask for it when they say is it for cattle just say yes and they will sell it to you

Collies with ivermectin sensitivity have been found to have a mutant gene for what is called the "P-glycoprotein." The P-glycoprotein has been studied largely because overexpression of this protein (i.e. having more of it than normal) results poor function of chemotherapy drugs in the treatment of cancer. The P-glycoprotein appears to be involved in keeping drugs out of certain body tissues. Having excess P-glycoprotein keeps chemotherapy drugs from reaching the tumor. When it comes to ivermectin sensitivity the problem is the opposite: mutant or non-functional P-glycoprotein leads to failure to keep certain drugs out of the central nervous system, allowing them access to sensitive tissue. Ivermectin side effects stem from ivermectin entering the central nervous system.

 

Approximately 35% of Collies have a genetic mutation creating a non-functional P-glycoprotein. This allows for ivermectin doses that would normally be blocked from the central nervous system to gain access to it.Other herding breeds as listed above also have a tendency to express this mutation. There is now a test for P-glycoprotein mutation so that ivermectin sensitive dogs can be identified. This is a DNA test using an oral swab. Test kits can be ordered directly from the Washington State University Veterinary School via

 

 

 

its a faulty gene in the collies....
