I'm sorry you've had this problem, & I hope your dog will recover.
I've actually never had a problem with the dials on the dewormer tubes. I haven't used Ivercare specifically (I don't think it's even available here) but I have used the various other ivermectin dewormers. I had a near miss once, I gave a dose of paste to one of the foals--she got the right amount; the ring did stop the plunger at the right moment, then it gave way. I'd quit pushing the plunger by then, so no extra paste got pushed out. I figured it was my own fault--I always double check/double tighten those rings before I give the paste, & that one time I didn't do my double check.
Even though I usually "can't afford" the actual cat & dog dewormer from the vet, that's what I buy anyway. I use Drontal tablets for both--all need doing right now & it's going to cost me $75 for the cats & I'm not sure what for the dogs (2) but regardless, it's a simple effective dewormer & so easy to pop down the correct number of pills, no chance of an overdose--I figure it's cheaper to buy the proper dewormer than to have to fork out a huge amount of money to fix a problem such as you're having now.

Wew..they said she was doing MUCH better today. they wanted to keep her one more night for observation and bloodwork to make sure everything is functioning well. but sheesh. the vet told me last night she was crazy all day never stopped pacing crazily in the crate they kept her in.
Anyhow sounds like she'll be OK hopefully. I'll have to look into the interceptor and the safe guard. might be a good option.

Glad to hear she is doing better today.
