Hello. I have the real, true horse paste. I would like to give it to my dogs as well as take it myself. It has been stated to ignore the admonishment that it's not to be taken by humans. 👍 I was reading the insert yesterday and it says to NOT give it to dogs as it will kill them. Is this true? OR is it, like them saying it's not to be taken by humans, they just want you to get the expensive stuff from the vet? I don't mind ignoring what the label says for me, but I really don't want to harm my little dogs. 💗🐶
(PLEASE do not tell me to buy the pills that I cannot afford. It is not helpful to be lectured about how I can afford things that I can't.)
I know for a fact that horse paste ivermectin works in humans. I used it, myself, to get over Covid (Delta) in 2 days back in '21. It DOES taste nasty, though. If you're going the vet meds route, might I suggest the injectable cattle version? (Take it orally.) Much less nasty, and about the same cost per dose. (The little bottle costs more upfront, but it has many more doses, too.) And you'll have better luck dosing your dogs with that, too. No idea if something in the paste carrier is bad for dogs, but yes, dogs can take ivermectin. It is in many OTC heartworm pills for dogs. Again, if you can get the cattle injectable version, the only carrier is saline, so it would not, could not, harm the dogs.
