So, the smallest number on an insulin syringe is .10?? Where is the .03??? Must
be just? drop???
FYI - I work at a Labrador kennel.? We have some of the top English Labradors
in the U.S.?? When I started there, they were giving Ivermectin as? a dosage
of? .10cc per 10 pounds.?? Most dogs got almost 1 cc each month.? We have't
killed any yet.? Then, I did some research and discovered we were giving too
much Ivermectin.? Then, our reproduction vet told us about how the racing
greyhounds had become sterile or were having reproduction issues from getting
too much Ivermectin each month.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Liquid Ivermectin
I have had our dogs on liquid ivermectin for over two years. See below how
our veterinarian explained how to use Ivermectin, the
dosage and entire procedure....
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 -->

To clarify - this is dosage for Ivomec liquid "injection for cattle" (not
the paste). It is not actually labeled as Ivermectin Heartworm
Preventative.
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 -->

Hope this helps.
