Plain-English summary
A Collie was brought in for severe ivermectin poisoning, which was not improving with standard treatments. Since this breed often has a poor prognosis with such poisoning, the veterinarian decided to try a homeopathic remedy that diluted the poison. Remarkably, after receiving this treatment, the dog's condition improved quickly, and he was almost fully recovered within a week. This case shows that homeopathy can sometimes be effective in emergencies like this.

Abstract
The condition of a Collie with ivermectin poisoning worsened rapidly despite allopathic treatment. Given that the prognosis of this type of poisoning is poor in this breed, it was decided to use a homeopathic dilution of the poison. After administration, the dog's condition improved rapidly, and the animal recovered almost completely within a week. In this situation application of the Similia principle of homeopathy was effective.
