What is the dosage for 1% Cattle injectable Ivomec. I have seen so many different dosages lately that now I'm getting confused.

I was originally using 1 cc per 40# (orally).

A while back we had a rampant lungworm epidemic and I increased the dose to 1cc per 25# before I had any luck getting rid of it.

I'd say somewhere between 1 cc per 25 - 40 #.

:D

LOL The question with a few answers...I dose it at 1 cc per 35# (but dosing at 1 cc per 22# is acceptable too, and easier to remember since it's the same as pour on)

I think I usually dose the 1% injectables orally at about 3ml/100lbs, or thereabout. As Roll said, though, going 4ml/100lbs wouldn't hurt anybody.

With everything but Levamisole-based wormers and possibly pour-ons dosed orally, it's generally better to err on the side of giving too much, versus too little.
