5. The only thing I am worried about is not being able to get ivermectin for my horses

In particular, one has what is called "summer sores" which are parasites that live at the skin surface and cause open sores. Until ivermectin was released, it was pretty much untreatable. The horse being treated now gets a concoction with ivermectin and a couple of other "new" medications applied daily and the sores covered. She's been treated for about two months and they are estimating she will need another two months.

If the vet can't get ivermectin, I am not sure what we will do.

Fucking covidiots.
