Ivermectin generally causes neurological problems such as stumbling and seizures. I recommend to have Bison examined asap. He could have a pinched nerve or compressed disc in his back or even a fracture. He needs and exam and likely x-rays. Poor pup! I hope he gets this addressed quickly and gets relief!
