Therapeutic management of Ivermectin toxicosis in a dog- A case report

摘要

A 3 yrs old, sexually intact female spitz dog was presented after having consumed approximately 50 mg (6.25 mg /kg b wt) of an oral ivermectin preparation used for treatment of intestinal parasites in large animals. Results of haematological findingswere unremarkable, except for mild leucopenia (4,543/mul), neutrophilia (92%), lymphopenia (7%) and eosinopenia (0%), compatible with stress. Therapeutic management with atropine sulphate, balanced electrolyte solution and methyl cobalamin was found effective in alleviating the acute symptoms.
