You should not worm puppies with ivermectin until at least 6 months. I'm sure there is people that have but that is why it is not ok'd for dogs yet. Save yourself some heartache and worm with something much safer. And I hate to tell you this but it doesn't look good for the puppy if it went into a coma.

The puppy's new owner took the 9 week old pup, Teddy, to her vet where he got his puppy shot and was wormed with Ivermec. "Teddy started staggering and then went down and eventually went into a semicoma ..." and he is still at the vets in guarded condition. According to Teddy's owner the vet thought he seemed a bit better. They believe the problem was caused by the Ivermec. -- Gayle Ringer ~ Honey ~ Kelly ~ Bo-Bo ~ Mac ~ Slider Waiting at the Bridge: Andy ~ Abbey ~ Tasha ~ Tex ~ Echo ~ Yukon ~ JR ~ Too ~ Niki ======================================================================== ==== POST is Copyrighted 2004.
