Meningeal safeguard dose?

[secuono]

Is it possible to figure out the math to make it the 10× for sheep dose?

If I do it by 250 incremental marks, it's the full tube.
But is that correct?

If you are dosing the baby doll sheep, you need an approximate weight. If the dose is 2.3 cc per 100 lbs.. then 23 cc is 10 x the dose. Take that and divide by the weight of the sheep. So say 50 lbs that is 12 cc of the liquid. The strength of the dose is not changed, just the amount in order to make sure it gets into their system in sufficient amount to kill the worm and larvae etc.. I have no idea if you are dosing adults or lambs so the weight needs to be fairly accurate.

But is it the same with the horse tube?
That's what I'm not sure about, if the dosage is equal or if more/less of the drug is in the horse dose per 100#.
I may be missing it and it's clear as day.

If you put in gram=ml into a search engine, there is a converting table and the way I read it 1g=1ml.... both products say that it is 100 mg dose... ml of liquid and gram of paste is equal. That is the way they make it safe for dosage.. make the amount PER DOSE PER LB of animal being dosed.
So yes, the gram dose of paste is the same as the ml dose of liquid.

Safeguard is a little hard on their stomachs. Had some cows go off feed for a few days years ago. But again, they were bought animals and pretty poor and wormy so it might have been that causing them problems too.

So the original goat dose is 2.3mL liquid safeguard (100mg/mL) per 100lbs. So 10 times that is 23mL per 100lbs. Which means when you are giving them the 100mg/mL solution, and you give 23mL, you are giving them 2300mg of medicine per 100lbs, or 23mg/lb.

Now, if there are 100mg/g of the horse paste. And you need to give 2300mg medication per 100lbs. You need to give 23g of the horse paste--almost a full tube per animal depending on the weight of your sheep.

Hope that helps!
