Monica Istvan asked: >Quite some while back, someone posted about using a liquified version of the >heartworm treatment vs. using the tablets... Does anyone (vets?) have t he recommended ratios, recommended liquid (solution) etc. I can give to my vet to confirm her dosage info? You can E-mail me directly. Many thanks! Monica: While I don't have the compounding information handy, liquid heartworm medication is made up of Ivomec (liquid ivermectin) and propylene glycol. If you contact Dr. Debra Kemmerer in Gainesville FL, she will be happy to provide that information. Her address is: Dr. Deborah Kemmerer West End Animal Hospital 103 SW 140th Terrace Newberry, FL 32669 (904) 332-4357 Also, if you want more information about heartworms in ferrets, you may want to look at the new Ferret Pathology Home Page at http://vetpath.afip.mil. This is a new page that I am constructing which addresses various topics in ferret pathology and medicine. [Moderator's note: And the heartworm section in there tells how to compound Ivomec and propylene glycol :-) Cool. BIG] Bruce H.
