To clarify - yes this is dosage for Ivomec liquid "injection for cattle"
(not the paste). It is not actually labeled as Ivermectin Heartworm
Preventative, I just copied that from the Vet's notes on the post-it card
she left for me so I would remember the dosage. Hope this clarifies - thank
you Shirley.
Vet recommended to buy the smallest box of Ivomec (i.e. 50mL) possible if
you have only a few dogs as the product will expire before you use it all
unless you have lots of dogs. the box I got looks like this -->

Please someone let me know if I'm not using/doing the right thing and need
to find a new vet!!!!

You should clarify if this is the broad spectrum paste ,for horses or
other animals, wormer formula or the liquid ivermectin labled as Ivomec
cattle wormer !
Which one is labled as a Heartworm Preventative ??
Or we will have dead dogs all over the place should someone use incorrect
dosage measurements for the wrong form of Ivomec(Ivermectrin) !
Maybe I read this wrong but I am confused.
JMO,
Sounds like I will be staying with the Ivomec Liquid Cattle wormer . It is
much more user friendly all around for the dogs and humans.
TIA,
S

Our veterinarian just recently explained to me how to use Ivermectin, the
dosage and entire procedure, so am posting what she gave me for anyone
interested....
Ivermectin Heartworm Preventative: 272 mcg per 50-100 lbs.
272 mcg = .27 mg
1% = 10 mg/ml = 1 mg/.1 ml
.3 mg = .03 ml --> Monthly Dose for 50-100 lbs.
Vet said to remember 3 things:
1] Ivermectin tastes very bad and the dose is so small if you try to squirt
it in their mouths it can easily drool out. Squirt it onto a piece of bread
and then put a little peanut butter over it and make sure the dog gets all
of it.
2] It's very important to dose the proper amount. It's a VERY SMALL AMOUNT
(.03 ML for 50-100 lbs.) OVERDOSING CAN KILL YOUR DOG.
3] Make sure to use IVERMECTIN 1%, not Ivomec Plus with 10% w/v clorsulon
which can be FATAL to dogs.
You can buy Ivermectin at the Tractor Supply Store -->

Hope this helps.
