see the "ivomec for beagles" thread - that's for dogs in general - not just beagles and you give it orally, NOT in a shot.

Ivomec in a shot won't work for worming a dog, in can be effective for mange. Giving it in a shot changes the absorption of the drug. It's been proven since original market release that it's not even really effective for mange in shot form either. It's also much rougher on the kidneys in a shot. But, as fatcatpurdy says, to each his own.

Moxidectin (the drug in Pro-Heart 6) is given in a shot in deep muscle, normally in the back, it was taken off the market and later re-released. I don't remember the dosage used, it was given only once every 6 months for HW prevention. Personally, I'd be a little scared to use it, but it is another one out there for use.
