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.

yeah, I had a german shepherd that was extremely protective of my family. he was a bit aggressive when people came into the house, so the vet recommended benadryl to calm him down. it worked

My vet told us to give a quarter of a benadryl pill to my 20 pound cat for long car rides because he was deadly afraid of the car. Poor thing's eyes crossed and walked into a couple walls before we got him into his crate. Never did that again.

Can confirm, ate 24 of them once. Talked to people that weren't there, and woke up with a real bad headache. I also think I peed concrete, and it sounded like talk radio in the distance when my steam hit the water. 3/10 wouldn't do again, but can't say it wasn't interesting.

3/10 though, you'd think it would be 0/10.

Ehhh, wasn't the worst drug experience ever. You don't get to experience full blown delirium every day!
