What a moron! Correction to my dosing info... this says the dose is 0.4 mg/kg.

If she gave two tubes, that's 452 mg of moxidectin (I think). If I did the math correctly, her 200 pounder should have had just 3.64 mg (double dose).

I can't even understand how people can't do simple/basic math on these kind of medications. It even says on the tube, that it's based on weight.

Disregard my previous post about your horse. I thought you said the horse was 16.1 hands.

Kids don't know how to work anymore, unless they're farm kids, and there's fewer & fewer farms every year.

I agree I am a kid myself but I think it's bull that kids can't be corrected there's a difference than correcting your kid than abusing your kid. I had my butt beat when I was younger. But since I grew up in the country side I grew up cutting the grass, takin care of the animals, loading and staking wood.

Quote: It says "The syringe is calibrated in 50-pound increments, up to 1150 pounds. This enables the administration of the recommended dose level of 0.4 mg moxidectin/kg body weight by choosing a setting consistent with the animal’s weight." so should have been easy.

She's around 15.5 hands. I usually use my round pen to stand on to mount up easier. I find that flinging myself into the saddle tweaks my back. LOL

I had a 17+h thoroughbred back in the day. He... was almost impossible to get up on, for me anyways. His shoulder was taller than my head, and I'm 5'7!

My sisters thoroughbred is 15 something I just put my foot in the stirrups and go my sister she is older than I am and she had to use a chair. But her horse is a retired race horse she has a tattoo on her lip. She was in a barn fire when she was a filly and she is terrified of fire and and fire works now.

Exactly. I use 1 tube for my adult, full sized horse.
My mini horse, gets about a quarter of a tube, or less.

I was actually in a car accident when I was riding my horse, which is why my back is all screwed up. The horse got tangled with a dog leash, I was walking next to my grandma down the road, and we stopped so she could untangle the doberman's leash from her legs.

I watched in what felt like slow motion this car back out of it's drive way, across both lines of traffic, off the street, and rammed into us. Knocked us about 5 feet sideways into a bunch of mailboxes. The impact jerked my lower back in a way where it's never been the same, so twisting motions (like getting up into a saddle by swinging) will retweak the same place that got injured.
I have to be really careful with my back now.

The lady's only comment was "I'm so sorry, I didn't see you."

Broad daylight, a big black horse with a rider.... even if she didn't see us (which I doubt, she had a BIG SUV with a warning sensor if she was going to hit something.) why would you back up off the road? The whole situation was surreal when it happened.

I could tell you a similar motorcycle story. A friend just said the week before his wife wouldn't ride with him in case of an accident. She didn't want the kids to be orphans.
A 16-year-old was backing out of a hidden drive on the highway. And then across four lanes. She wasn't paying attention, and had the music blaring. She could not hear the Harley, and just didn't seem to care that you can't back out of a hidden drive. The bike skid 75 yards and he flew 100. I read the article about once a month. The teen didn't face any charges.

HAve you ever talked to your doctor about back surgery or anything? My pap has to go get surgery again on his back because of a ruptured disc. I told him about laser surgery so he would have to get such a big incision and and have to be not lifting stuff for about 3 months or more like the last time.
