Permoxin And Herding Breeds

[cowanbree]

Does anyone with a herding breed use Permoxin on thier collie type dogs. I have shelties and would love to use it but not sure if it is safe for them.

I will be interested in the response to this as I was considering it last week as well.

The list of drugs that are to avoided for dogs with MDR1 sensitvity are here:

It doesn't appear to be on there.

As it isn't absorbed by the skin, its probably one of the safer products. Give your vet a call Cowanbree!

I have but he thinks I should only use the spot on treatments and that if this worked more people would know about it which I take to mean he has never heard of it.

I've had a vet tell me (when I was in a tick area) that Permoxin and regular checks were a lot less hard on a dog than the chemical cocktails we subject them too. My vet certainly recommends it.

I only use permoxin these days ... we have koolies and Koolie x's

if this worked more people would know about it

people probably find it easier to apply a spot on product ...too much effort in measuring/mixing/spraying/rinsing .......

I use Permoxin on my Border Collie, every now & then, when we get an outbreak of tiny ticks. It is the same ingredient as Advantix, but not waterproof. She also get Proban. Never a problem here, except she runs a mile when she thinks she is going to get it put on.

I got my girl tested for MDR1 to take out the guesswork and worry
