To treat 8 pounds with the topical ivermectin the amount I use is ~1 mg/kg, which works out to about 0.8 ml when using the 5 mg/ml topical.

I would give 0.8 ml.

If what you have says 5 mg/ml, you can give 0.1 ml per pound. 1/ 2.2 x 1 / 5 = 0.09 ml per pound (okay to round up to 0.1 ml per pound).

How much do they weigh?

I hear, mite, lice, feas, ticks, maggots, yuck!

You can give it today. :)
