Don't get the different types of Cydectin confused. Injectable is not the same as sheep drench. Will someone please post oral dosages for the two types?

There is also a cattle pour on and Quest for horses has the same active ingredients which is moxidectin. Quest plus for horses is moxidectin along with a tapeworm medicine. I don't know all the dosages for each type.

Cydectin injectable- 1ml/25#
pour on- 1ml/10#
Quest or Quest Plus- 2x plunger dose

All of these are given orally. Never give Cydectin by injection. Not only does it not work as well (in goats) but the withdrawal time is extremely long.

I have seen many different dosages of Cydectin pour-on used as an oral drench anywhere from 1ml/ 10# up to 1ml/ 25# ( some report using a 1 ml/22# or 1ml/20#). I use 1ml/ 12#. I incorrectly reported 25# instead of 12#. Sorry fellow goaters. Bottom line, get fecal samples and use the FAMACHA method and deworm on an individual basis and rotate pastures if at all possible.
