I just need to know how much ivermectin 1.87% paste I can give him


Ivermectin is a medication that requires careful use in dogs, particularly in certain breeds like Collies and other herding breeds, due to their potential sensitivity to it. While Labrador Retrievers typically do not fall into the category of breeds known for this sensitivity, it remains essential to use ivermectin only under the supervision of a veterinarian.
The appropriate dosage of ivermectin can vary depending on several factors, including the specific condition being treated, your dog's weight, and other individual considerations. Therefore, it is crucial to have a veterinarian determine the correct dosage to ensure it is safe for your dog, especially taking into account his age and any underlying health issues he may have.
I strongly recommend consulting with your veterinarian to obtain the correct dosage and confirm that it is suitable for your dog's specific needs. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
I know it works for dogs and I also take it myself every other day. Just wanted the amount in grams that I should be giving him for an upper respiratory infection.


I understand your interest in using ivermectin, but it's important to note that this medication is not typically used for treating upper respiratory infections in dogs. These infections are usually caused by viruses or bacteria, and ivermectin is not effective against these types of pathogens.
Administering ivermectin without veterinary guidance can lead to incorrect dosing and potential side effects, particularly in older dogs like your Labrador Retriever.
