Does anyone know if I can use Ivomec Pour on for catttle on my goats for worms? I have heard to give it orally but did not know for sure.

Gosh, I don't use the stuff but I think it's 1cc per 10 pounds. I don't remember for sure so don't go giving it to her yet. haha

I believe Straw is right. It's been so long since I've used it. The lbs. per cc sould be on the bottle.

I use Ivomec Pour On with great success as a pour on. Goats have thinner skin than cows and some worry about irritation, but no problem noted here. Using 1 cc per 22#. It is so easy, and very low cost for me as I just swipe it from hubby's cow med cabinet.

I asked this a long while back and was told do NOT use it as a pour on, especially if you are intending it to treat internal parasites. Have you have a vet test for parasites?
