    Ivermectin dosage in drops

    Hi everyone, Has anyone ever figured out the ivermectin (1% injectable) dose in drops (roughly)? I was only able to get a 3ml syringe and measuring out 0.08ml Seems impossible. I was hoping to administer the dose with the help of a piece of bread, one chicken at a time. Thanks for your help
