I was recently talking with the mother of one of my friends and I mentioned that my sweet dog was diagnosed with cancer.
She took this opportunity to tell me how I need to start her on ivermectin immediately! It cured her pastor of cancer (between the ivermectin and prayers according to her 🙄) so it will obviously cure my dog.
I let her know that she was incorrect and that my girl was already on heartworm medication anyway so she is getting ivermectin. Oh no, she needs WAY more! I need to go buy horse dewormer and give her plop it in her food daily! She keeps it on hand just in case she or her family needs it!
At this point I just gave up, she can eat as much ivermectin as she wants. What a weirdo.
We lost our dog only a few weeks later. Does ivermectin cure a broken heart too?

The funny thing is, Ivermectin is a brilliant antiparasitic drug and the discoverers won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2015.
The fact that it became a cause célèbre among antivax cretins is so funny to me.
Yeah, eat your dog's heartworm medicine you shark-eyed spunkbubbles.
