Yes, hopefully the Reptile Vet that they took Iggy to will have some encouraging words and advice for them. I was thinking the exact same thing, the fact that 48 hours has passed is optimistic for Iggy. Either way I'd be making that vet pay big-time for this.
I grew up in a parrot-breeding family, both my grandmother and my mother bred and hend-raised several different species of parrots, as did I for about 20 years total, starting when I was 16 and stopping about 2 years ago. I bred both English and American Budgies, Cockatiels, and Green Cheek Conures. And that's where most of my experience with Ivermectin comes from, and it's been every bit as deadly in the bird world as it has in the reptile world, and for the same reason, they are just too small to properly control the dose. A lot of avian vets use Ivermectin to treat Feather Mites, but there are so many safer medications for treating external mites (and natural/holistic treatments) that I don't know why any veterinarian would even consider using Ivermectin or any of the related poisons. I know that it's used quite often in livestock veterinary medicine, but even so it's not the first Go-To to treat mites in even the largest species of livestock. I would never, ever, ever put Ivermctin in a "Drench", that could certainly end badly for the poor goat/sheep. It's literally a poison that is often added as an ingredient in insecticides!
I still know people who are so worried about fleas/ticks on their dogs that they still use Ivermectin topically on a regular basis on their dogs. Not only should you never, ever, ever buy any flea/tick medication over-the-counter from the "cheap brands" like Hartz, Sargents, Pet Armor, etc., because they have caused literally thousands and thousands of deaths in dogs and cats (just the topical spot treatments, the flea powders and sprays, and the collars), but they cause a continuous and constant convulsion, specifically in cats, that will never stop, the poor cats are forever in a state of seizure, the only thing you can do is euthanize them ASAP. (There's a horrifying website that is nothing but thousands of people posting their stories of how they lost their pets due to using one of these over-the-counter flea/tick treatments that you can buy at the grocery store or at Walmart, it's the saddest website I've ever been on)...and one of the main ingredients in these flea/tick treatments that do this: IVERMECTIN.
