seeing as ivomectin is the primary ingredient in Heartgard and Heartgard Plus I find it kind of interesting that they claim it isn't labeled for small animal use?

Are some dogs really allergic to it? Do some have a sensitivity? Since a puppy I sold recently was given it at a young age and almost died, it seems like it might be worth taking a look at this. I understand the kit for the DNA swab is free at this point. Probably someone on this list can give the name of the contact for this study at Davis.
