Every held source for this drug and species, as printed. Where they differ, both are shown — the choice is yours, not ours.
The sources disagree for this combination. The ranges below do not overlap on a comparable route. This is not an error in one of them — published veterinary references differ, and reconciling them for a particular patient is a clinical judgement.

These ranges are per kg. Enter your white's tree frog's weight to get the precise dose and draw-up volume — unit and concentration math done for you.
Potentiates glutamate-gated chloride channels in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells, causing paralysis and death of parasites.
TOXIC to MDR1-mutant dogs (Collies, Shelties, Aussies) at elevated doses. DO NOT use in chelonians (turtles/tortoises). Narrow safety margin in some species. Test MDR1 status before use in herding breeds.
Species-specific contraindications and adverse-reaction reports for white's tree frogs may differ from canine / feline reference data — consult the primary citations listed with each rule.
Ivermectin dose ranges in white's tree frogs, with cited source references: bath 10 mg/l repeat in 14 days; p.o. 0.2–0.4 mg/kg q14d; topically 2 mg/kg repeat in 14-21 days. Reference ranges from cited sources — verify against current literature before clinical use.
Documented routes for Ivermectin in white's tree frogs: bath, p.o., topically.
These are general warnings for Ivermectin across species; consult the white's tree frog dosing table above for species-specific guidance. TOXIC to MDR1-mutant dogs (Collies, Shelties, Aussies) at elevated doses. DO NOT use in chelonians (turtles/tortoises). Narrow safety margin in some species. Test MDR1 status before use in herding breeds.
Why a species-specific page? Ivermectin pharmacokinetics differ across species: dose ranges, intervals, and route preferences are not interchangeable. Cross-extrapolation from canine doses is unsafe in white's tree frogs — the rules above are the citations specific to this species, not generic recommendations.
