How to dose Cydectin?

[TGreenhut]

Is it 1cc per 25 lbs? Orally or injection?

We use injectable at 1ml/25# given orally.

If injected you have a very long meat and milk withdraw time. It also works better in goats when given orally.

Indeed. It has the longest persistency time of any chemical dewormer.

Interesting! Is Cydectin effective against barberpole worms?

It is the most effective drug we have for it right now. But overuse could lead to resistance like the other drugs that we have.

That's what I thought. Just double-checking. I have read about it causing internal bleeding when given orally. What are your thoughts about this?

More than likely that theory is from the detaching of the worms which can cause bleeding. I wouldn't be too worried about it though.
