Can I use ivermectin to deworm my dog?

Why Is My Rabbit Passing Blood in Its Stool?
Blood in a rabbit's stool is alarming and should never be ignored. Causes include constipation from dry food and low water intake, parasite overload, enteritis (which can rupture local capillaries), and rectal tumors or polyps. Treatment matches the cause—diet and hydration for constipation, deworming for parasites, antibiotics for enteritis, and prompt surgery consult for growths.

What does it mean when a cat has many pimple-like bumps on its head?
A pimple on a cat's head may be a bacterial or other skin-infection abscess, or a bump from a mosquito bite the cat scratched open. Since the cat often scratches it open, first put on an Elizabethan collar to prevent further damage and infection, then disinfect with iodine and use a pet antibacterial ointment such as zinc oxide ointment. Clean old medicine with saline before each application and keep the wound dry; also deworm regularly.
How to Use Medication for Rabbit Health Care

Consistent prevention is far cheaper than treating outbreaks.
