  • Title: Use of ivermectin in treatment of Aelurostrongylus abstrusus and Toxocara cati infection in a cat.
    Author: Kirkpatrick CE, Megella C.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1987 May 15; 190(10):1309-10. PubMed ID: 3583886.
    Abstract:
    Ivermectin, administered at a rate of 200 micrograms/kg of body weight, SC, successfully removed Toxocara cati infection from a young cat. A second treatment at a higher rate (400 micrograms/kg) was necessary to eliminate infection with the lungworm Aelurostrongylus abstrusus. The drug apparently was tolerated well, and it appears to have several advantages over previously reported treatments for lungworm infections in cats.
