I start mine at 8 weeks due to where we live as recommended by vet. Title: Re: Ivomec for puppies Post by: mike rogers on August 05, 2013, 08:10:01 pm 5 months old is when I started mine at a 1/4 of a cc. They are 6 months now and I will start doing 1/2 cc at 7 months. I normally jump up to 1cc at 9 to 10 months. Not sure if it's right or wrong, but it's been working.
8 weeks seems way to early. how much are you giving them. Title: Re: Ivomec for puppies Post by: jimco on August 05, 2013, 08:40:05 pm 5 months old is when I started mine at a 1/4 of a cc.

Not sure if it's right or wrong, but it's been working. 8 weeks seems way to early. how much are you giving them. Ivomec 50 ml bottle - 1% injectable for cattle one-tenth of a cc per 10 pounds. of dog example; a 100 pound dog would get 1cc a 40 pound dog would get four-tenths of a cc I give pups one-tenth of a cc Mosquitoes can infect a pup as easy as it can infect a grown dog.
