Ivermectin for Heartworm prevention?

Has anyone who is dosing .1 cc of 1% per 22 pounds been doing it very long. Have you had problems with heartworms or any worms besides tapeworm? Have you had problems with fleas or ticks? How long have you been giving it to how many dogs and what breeds and what size?

I was told by an old vet that ivomec is just a heart worm prevention in dogs. Not a treatment. And it's not a good intestinal wormer when used in dogs. That's my reasoning behind the valbazen.

Do not give this to any dog that has Collie Blood lines. Stray , pure bred. Do not use this on a Collie. This is what I use on my lab and beagle. No problems but do not use Ivermec on any collie breed.
Yep, I have to do something different for my Border Collies.

What do you do for your border collies? My dogs are half border collies and mutts.
