I was writing about worming sheep, not dogs. I have never, ever read anything about ivermectin causing neurological damage to sheep. If the writer can cite a source, I would be interested in reading it.
Chocolate is toxic to dogs, but that is neither here nor there. When I first got into raising sheep, there was still talk about using lead arsenate and some thought nicotine was a more natural product and advocated feeding a cigarette to a sheep or goat to worm it. It was also common to use phenothiazine to worm sheep. There are folks today who believe feeding sheep some Shaklee's Basic H is a good "natural remedy" to prevent parasites, but there are no studies or drug safety info and no info on how long before slaughter the product should be avoided or anything at all to show that it is safe to eat sheep treated this way. Ivermectin has been very thoroughly studied, however. Grace Fred and Grace Hatton Hawley Pa To stop mail temporarily mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: set nomail To restore send: set mail
