There are directions on the packet that have you mix the powder up for a 12.5% solution. I could be wrong but I think Roll Farms mixes only half the water and then, therefore, has a 25% solution. Again, if my memory serves she then uses that at the same dosage that we have here: 1cc per 5# on day one and 1cc per 10# on day 2-5. Don't do that until she or someone else confirms though because my memory doesn't always serve me like it should.

The only issue with Albon is the price.. A lot of extra money for a little flavor.

And O7W, I prefer to use Albon Suspension...it's the same thing essentially but it is "flavored" and my goats will take it just like a treat :) It's a little more pricey (not much) and the only place I can get regularly is my vet (even though it's not rx) but that means I only have to buy what I need and not a whole bottle that is gonna sit when you have a smaller herd.
Is there a brand name for the Albon, anything my goats like, I like. Also, is there more than one strength, and what is the dosage?

I have my first ever outbreak of cocci in my herd. I knew it was coming after 3 years of no problems. With 13 kids and all the rain I was watching for it and sure enough, here it is. I have not done a fecal, but the age is right, the conditions are right, and 4 of the 13 have scours so I am going to start treatment NOW before they start acting sick. I wouldn't be able to get a fecal done until Monday and I don't want to wait.
Albon is the brand name for Di-methox actually...or something like that...

It's worth it to me for the ease of administration and being able to get just what I need from my vet's office.
