SICK PEAHEN

Is the ivermectin you purchased .08% or 1%?

1% injectable Ivermectin = 10mg per 1 ml
.5% pour-on Ivermectin = 5mg per 1 ml
.08% sheep drench ivermectin = .8mg per 1 ml

The 1% and the .08% can be given orally. The .5% should be given topically.

The dose recommended by @frenchblackcopper was 20mg (2ml of the 1%). To give the same amount using the sheep drench one would have to give 25ml.

Please do correct me if my math is wrong!
