Are you talking about the cattle injectable given orally (1cc per 25 to 33 lbs) or the sheep drench which is a much higher dose?
Ivermectin dosage
Hi. Im having a bit of trouble finding the correct dosage amount for oral ivermectin. On these forums the most common I see is 1 cc for 33 lbs. Then online I find very different numbers for goats. I found a chart Dewormer Chart for Goats
And here it says 6cc for 25 lbs.
That's quite a difference... Which do I go by?
I got ivermectin from the vet, and he prescribed 9mls. At that time we just guessed how much the goats weigh, and I think what he prescribed seems to be on the higher side as well. Last time I weighed them they were all around 55 lbs.

Lol, the sheep drench. Guess I should have looked into that🙈 So I would go with the higher dosage?
Yes, the sheep drench is the higher dose for sure.
Perfect, thank you!
I had this same problem until I did a forum search. Glad it's all figured out now👍👍Hi. Im having a bit of trouble finding the correct dosage amount for oral ivermectin.

Injectable given orally is 1 cc per 33#
