Ivomec - sheep or cattle solution

[emilypaonia]

I want to give my goat ivomec liquid oral drench. My neighbor has a large bottle of sheep solution ivomec that i can use, she says it is the same dosage for sheep and goats. however, I have read that the sheep ivomec is too weak for goats (.08%) and that I actually need to use the cattle solution (1%). My goat that I want to worm is a standard alpine (a little on the smaller side). I guess her to weigh about 130 lbs. Dosage recommendations? Thank you! I don't want to underdose with the sheep or overdose with the cattle.

To get the proper amount of medication (600 mcg / kg) into the goat you need...

Ivomec sheep drench 0.08% 9ml / 26#
Ivomec Cattle drench 1% 1ml / 25#
