Hi Charlotte,

I have known other people to use ivermectin on their dogs with success.  
Unfortunately I don't know the dosage for dogs, so if someone lets you know, 
would you let me know?

I do use the ivermectin injectable (you can use it as either as a drench or 
as an injection) as a wormer for my goats.  The best place I have found to 
get it is either American Livestock or Omaha Vaccine.  You don't need a 
prescription to get it either and it's a far sight cheaper than going to the 
vet, even with the postage.
