Thanks for this, Steph. It sure sounds like the "old boy" network (including your female Dr. WhiteCoat) really banded together on this one, unfortunately, to the detriment of your dog.
I can tell you with surety that, in my previous conventional practice life, when ever I used ivermectin, even with extreme caution (rubber gloves, thorough wash up after paste worming a horse), I'd inevitably get dizzy on the way to the next farm. If I'd taken more in (must have literally had a few molecules, as careful as I was), ataxia would have followed!
