Horse or cow manure is It OK to use with worm medication in it
Would They make a product that would harm our garden plants or make our HEART stop if spilled on our skin.
STILL TOXIC
This doesn't mean that vermicides are completely safe, however. Ivermectin can be fatal to certain breeds of herding dogs and to numerous aquatic creatures, and can cause nausea, headache and heart irregularities if splashed onto human skin. In addition, tainted manure can kill worms in compost bins, according to Karin Grobe, worm composting specialist for Santa Cruz County.
IVERMECTIN TOXICITY
This toxic reaction occurs especially in dogs that are genetically hypersensitive to ivermectin, an anti-parasite medication most commonly used for heartworm prevention, or to treat ear and hair mites, which can lead to mange. Ivermectin prevents or kills parasites by causing neurological damage to the parasite, resulting in paralysis and death for the parasite. But dogs genetically sensitive to the medication have an anomaly that allows the ivermectin to pass the dog's blood-brain barrier and into its central nervous system, which can be lethal for the animal.
TREATMENT
Unfortunately, ivermectin toxicity cannot be reversed. Therefore, it is best to make your pet comfortable and treat the symptoms to the best of your ability. If exposure has occurred within the past four to six hours, induce vomiting and/or administer activated charcoal for the purposes of minimizing absorption. Be on the lookout for signs of secondary complications.

Please be aware that dogs and cats should not be present when you are deworming your horses. We had a client call this week to tell us that their little Yorkie dog spent the weekend at the small animal emergency clinic being treated for a toxic exposure to Quest (moxidectin). A small drop of the gel was licked up by the dog before they could stop her, and within minutes she was obviously very ill. They rushed her to the emergency clinic and due to their prompt action she has recovered and is home now.
Moxidectin, the active ingredient in Quest, and ivermectin, the active ingredient in many brand name equine dewormers can be very toxic to dogs and cats. The equine products contain levels of these compounds that are unsafe for small animals. It only takes a very small amount to be toxic to small animals.
The signs of toxic exposure are drooling, dilated pupils, incoordination, and trembling which progresses to seizures, coma and eventually death unless the condition receives prompt treatment.
When deworming your horses please keep your dogs and cats in the house and make sure the empty syringes are securely disposed of. If your dog is fond of eating horse poop keep them out of the paddocks and pastures for several days. It is even possible for dogs to ingest toxic amounts by eating the manure of recently dewormed horses, although this is extremely rare.

Read what this site says,Seriously I can not believe this. If this was true the Ivermectin would not be sold. Another comment about our great health care. Things like this do happen.
A timely reminder came through an Auto Immune Group I belong to, a friend of a friend has recently had a very unpleasant experience with her dog as a result of the dog eating fresh horse manure. The dog goes with her to the stables and it would appear that the horses had recently been wormed with a product called Panomec, Panomec contains the drug Ivermectin which can prove very serious in its effect on canines especially of the Collie Type Breeds. Initial symptoms gave the appearance of a stroke, the pupils were dilated, unsteady in gait, so please be warned. This dog with appropriate veterinary action survived, others are not always so fortunate. Another interested party told me that an organic horticulturist who was talking about the use of horse manure in gardens had said that such compost frequently contains worming medications which can kill off the beneficial worms in the soil.He also had said that if you do compost it, the resulting compost does not get those red wriggly worms that break down manure and compost for a good long time so it would appear that this stuff can remain active for quite a while which could be quite serious to any "Scavaging" Dog. I have yet to meet ANY dog who does not enjoy the dietary treat of a munch of "fresh" horse manure,
