Thanks for the advice S_B, I'll keep that in mind. It's a lil hard here to just buy meds like that here because most of the time you need the vet's note. I'll ask my vet about the Ivomec.

In the US one can buy Ivomec over the counter for cattle and you can figure the correct dosage on line or on this site. One can also buy Ivermectin on line from Australia if one does not want a large quantity such as the liquid Ivomec cattle wormer.
I have ordered it from this Australian web site and had it sent to me in the US pretty quickly --

Not sure if they ship to Indonesia or not but you can check it out. With only one dog you would buy the tablets for the right weight for your dog and it gives the dosage size.
Hope he is doing better and continues to improve.
Common sense isn't so common these days.
Great info SGC!
Cot dammit. He got sick again. This time they found hookworms eggs. So it is very likely that after all this time, the hookworms didn't get detected and it's the actual cause of his sickness. One of the vets has a similar case with a dog having fever and it's caused by hookworms. I worm him with Drontal Plus every 2 months usually. I'm worming him again right now with Cazitel for 3 days in a row and also Advocate spot on.
Ivomec would have helped you there also Skip. That poor fella, I'm sure you both are at your wits end! Hope that's the last of it.

I hope so too. I really hope that it's actually the hookworms that's causing all the problems so at least it's not that complicated and pretty easy to treat. Any experience with hookworms causing this kind of sickness?
His fever is actually going down when given Tolfedine this time (last time, fever won't go down even with the med, only went down after 3 days of IV), creeps back up again usually at night-morning. He's weak but it's not as bad as last time. He can still move, albeit very weak, and prefer to lie down. He can get up the stairs if he want to but can't jump up to sofa/bed and can't go down stairs or bed/sofa. Fingers crossed this will be the last.
Damn skip after all that freaking worms...at least you have a cause this time
@BRICKFACE: I know. I really hope it is the hookworms this time.
Take a 1000 ml bottle of panacur, add to it a tube of equimax. shake well, and give three days in a row. repeat again in 14 days. give your dogs monthly wormer with Ivomec every 28 day, not every month. Worm pups at 2 week intervals. 2,4,6, and 8 weeks. Worms have a 14 day cycle, so worming pups the first time at two weeks old kills almost all your worm problems. again at 4 6 and 8 is to kill anything remaining. Switch the wormers up. do panacur one month for 3 days, next month do pyrantel . Hook worms can kill your dog. Best not to have that problem.
Thanks for the advice Evo. What I meant by "I hope it's hookworms" is that so it's clear rather than unclear diagnoses and playing the guessing game. I will try to get individual ingredients as you described, see if anyone sells it here.
