the ratio I have always used is also for worming...when I break down your second formula...I think it breaks down to 8cc of prop.glycol..to 1/2 cc of ivomec..my formula is 9-1...But from then on I am confused,,I am not great at math..but breaking down your second formula..I get a dosage for an 80lb dog as 12cc...as .15x80 is 12....when I break down my dosage..of 9-1 dosed at 2cc per 80..I get a dosage of .025 per lb...are you sure yours isn't .015..instead of .15..then you would be giving 1.2 cc instead of 12cc...C.Grainger > [Original Message] > From: <CherlynGSD@xxxxxxx> > To: <murk@xxxxxxxxxxx>; <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: 1/1/2005 8:37:22 AM > Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: ivermectin > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > I have been using Ivermectin for over 10 years.
