When my cat was sick the vet used several human medicines for her.  He also told me that horse wormer is what us mostly used to worm dogs, cats, and it is all in the does.

 

He even figured out for me the dosage to demite my hampsters from a cat medicine. 

 

I believe medicines can help many different species if you know how to properly figure the dosage.

I'm the last person to flame you for this. We use human meds for our
dogs, cats, horses whatever because that's what we have and horse meds
for other beasts if they work. Find out what the mg/kg or mg/lb dosage
is and then how much of the ivermectin wormer would contain that
dosage. We do this all the time. The liquid is often the easiest.
