paulus 26 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 If a dog has collie in the make up is ivermectin not poisinous to them mate.. in injectable form so people say but in tablet form the dosage is controlled Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Millet 4,497 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I dare not risk it mate as i have read some bad shite about it..i think they is one called millibex (spelling) is that any good.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,393 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Each to his/her own but I will never use Drontal again. Gave Trev one tablet here and he was shiitting through the eye of a needle for six weeks, spent a fortune on tests and still none the feckin wiser.. But this only started the day after he was given it. Shroom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
