Not all vets are au fait with regard to the problem drugs with Collies (and other breeds), and MDR1.

Milbemax appears on the 'C' list, and is supposedly safe under the guidance of a vet, but if you ask a Collie breeder, they will tell you it isnt safe irrespective of what a vet says.

More information on MDR 1....

Just to add, my vet is fully aware of the implications of MDR1 and that none of my dogs have been tested. However, I took my young male to the emergency vets one weekend and a locum vet gave him a drug that could have put him in a coma. I recognised the name of the drug and before I gave it him I checked my list........to say I was annoyed is an understatement.

Jules has said it all. Why take the chance if you know there could be a problem? The reason the vets recommend it is because the reps do them a good deal - my vet has stopped using other wormers, and when I sent some dogs to Finland he allowed me to buy Drontal online and take it in for him to administer.
