Hilarious horsey hijinx🤣🤣🤣

Reminds me of when the vet suggested a shot of booze to soothe one of our Bouviers during thunderstorms and fireworks.Said buy a flavour they like. She went insane for peppermint candies. So we got a peppermint liquor (Blue Curaco or some such thing).

She let us shoot it into her yap with a dosing syringe then proceeded to *CACK* it up in one giant cough so hard it hit the ceiling. We are still finding traces of sticky blue shit in the kitchen years later 🤣🤣🤣

good point PJ!

I think the IVM by itself is tolerable. I wonder if they added something to the Equimax to keep people from eating it ?? 🤔😝 and not just the praziquantel, because the Zimectrin Gold also has that ingredient.

I can't figure out why it tastes yucky but (for what it's worth) I did find out biltricide (praziquantel) is a voltage gated calcium channel blocker of an ion channels only found in helminths, not mammals.

Ivermectin is a chloride channel blocker only found in worms that mammals who are defective in their genetic P glycoprotein are sensitive to.
