Ivermectin (Ivomec) injection/drops/water dosage help!

[WillowChick]

Ok. I have in my hand a box of injectable ivermectin.

Each ml contains 10mg of ivermectin. (This is starting to sound like a grade 7 math question, isn't it? LOL!)

I know I can use it in drops on their skin or drop it in their water (although I have very different sized birds so water won't work)

I have looked on many many threads and still can't see the dosage I'm supposed to use.

HELP?????

I have in my hand 'pour on ivermectin' and it says 1 ml per 22 lbs of animal.
for a LF that's about a quarter ml per bird. Maybe 2 or 3 drops from a syringe.

 

[WillowChick]

How many mg/ml is your pour on? If it's the same as mine, I'll use .25ml for my standards.

Thanks so much for the reply!

mine is 5 mg/ml.
I just found new info that says about 5 drops per LF.
This is the stuff I'm using

So if mine is 10mg/ml, then I should probably be using just 1 needle drop between the shoulder blades for my seabrights and bantams, 2 for my smaller standards and 3 for my large standard...

Man I hate guesswork

WillowChick, if the info above is correct, then I agree

The pour on shouldn't be added to water; it is oil-based. You use the injectable in the water. I found that somewhere else in a post
