    (EMERGENCY!!!) Ivermectin Toxicity now!

    Yes! I have another vet appointment tomorrow morning so he can hopefully give supportive care. I have charcoal for birds but don't want to give it as I don't know how. I am giving soaks. Hopefully he will get fluids administered tomorrow if he can make it that long. Thank You!

    (EMERGENCY!!!) Ivermectin Toxicity now!

    He is about the same, hasn't been unconscious as far as I know. Still pooping and eating a little. Most of the studies were a long time ago and were injected. My tortoise took it orally.
