Yesterday midday we wormed all of our minis with Ivermectin. One of our mares, who weighs aproximately 300 lbs, got an entire tube of Ivermectin. The little knob on the tube was defective and it broke when we were giving the wormer to her. We called our vet and she told us to just watch her and see what happens. She ate her food last night like normal and was fine last time we checked her. This morning she wasnt acting like herself. She was laying in a place where she has never layed before and almost every morning she is up and grazing but not today. I got her up and had to lead her over to her favorite pasture that she normally runs into. She doesnt want to graze and only nibbles at hay. She would prefer to sleep and wont drink. I tried giving her gatorade but she doesnt want that either.
Called our vet this morning and she is planning to come out around 1:00. She doesnt seem too worried about her but says it could be a toxic reaction and she would like her to drink.
Have any of your minis ever gotten an overdose of wormer? If so did it hurt them? What did you do?
Thanks!
