First of all make sure it's the 1%...NOT the 2%; I have been giving all my adult dogs 1cc a month for years.

1/10 cc or ml per 10 lbs body weight once a month.Ivomec has never killed adult heartworms only the microfyliaria or larva.It will take 6 to 18 months for the adults to live out their lifespan. Glynn Holmes 478-396-2479 www.tellsblueticks.webs.com

If you give him more than reccomended dose 1/10 cc per 10 lbs bodyweight it can cause kidney failure and death.

Ivomec is a heartworm preventative...it will also kill hooks and rounds but not tapes...ur zimectrin gold will get them all...it has ivomectrin and praziquantel.I use equimax...almost the same ad zimectrin just has more praziquantel..that month I don't use ivomec cause the equimax has it..I also use 1/10 CC per 10 lbs.
As for the older dog I heard to start at a low dose and gradually each month work to a full dose...
