I had put on the list about 4 months ago about ivermectin and its effects on some shepherds. The GSD I knew started having seizures as a result of taking Heart Gard with ivermectin. I had a lot of input from other people who had shepherds with severe reactions to ivermectin. Some had GSDs that died as a result of the use of ivermectin or ivermectin based medication. There is a study at Washington State University Veterinary school about GSDs that have reacted to ivermectin. Ivermect must have an ivermectin base or I miss my guess!! Strange name if it doesn't! I hope the puppy recovers from this. It might be worth looking into this information though.
