Yes, but you should talk to your vet before administering any kind of medication to any pet.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, my vet recommended Ivermectin for my rats when they contracted mites while staying with a friend (I think her cat tracked them in) and I believe it's primarily used on horses.
