Just wanted to give a quick reminder/ warning to those with collies.
Wormers containing Ivermectin are toxic to collie that's carry the MDR1 gene.
What?
I expect you are thinking.
Which is what I thought.
Our young, brilliant collie has died.
He ate a small amount of Equimax which was on a carrot.
I would never allow any dog to eat horse wormer.
It was a totally accident.
Even though I feel so guilty, like I killed him myself.
Basically collies can carry this mutated gene which makes the ivermectin toxic to them.
Pleas be careful when worming, espesially around dogs.
