Hi There,
I know this is from 2009 but I am hoping you are still able to answer a question. I followed your post and bought a 3 cc syringe and Ivermectin pour-on for cattle (5mg/ml). Since other posts measure in drops, I was hoping that you could be more specific as I am terribly confused about the dosage. I pulled up 1 cc of 5mg/ml in a syringe with my 20 gauge needle. I squeezed out 1 drop and it barely registers. Is a "drop" of this still a "drop" or should I be measuring with cc?
Not sure my question makes sense.
What I am noticing is that 0.5 cc of 5mg/ml ivermectin cattle pour-on using a 3cc syringe and 20 gauge needle takes about 50 drops.
Do I use 4 "drops" for my standard sized (5 pound) chicken? Or do I use 0.5 cc?
Thanks a million for clarifying!
