Is this the correct stuff? I don't want to get the wrong kind for my horse. He is 200lb which comes out to 4 dibs?

Correct. Make sure it is not a plus or gold product. Those have extra stuff (antibiotics) in them that are not safe for two legged horses.
The notches vary by brand. But for the most part, following the weight markings on the tub corrospond to a .2mg per kg of body weight dosage. From the FLCCC that is the preventive dose. If you actually have the coof, double that for a .4mg / kg dose.
In my case with my body weight (225lbs) I was using roughly a 1/4 of the tube at a time with the higher dose.
Do you wait 2 days for the second dose?
If you are taking just the preventive dose, then yes. If you actually have the coof, then every day for 5 days until recovered.
There are a few different protocols out there, but the FLCCC is the one I followed. They seem to be one of the leaders in all this.
I'm not a doctor or any kinda expert. Just a 2 legged horse that has been doing a ton of reading. :)
So what does. 04 kg equate to on the ivermectin plunger?
Depending on the brand, but it seems like for most it's double the body weight.
Say you are 200lbs, and you set the slider to 200lbs. That's a 0.2mg/kg dose (the preventive). Setting it to 400lbs should get you to the 0.4mg dose. Note the FLCCC advises even going up to 0.6mg for very high risk, or if you start taking IVM late into the infection.
There was a great spreadsheet someone in /r/ivermectin made. You put in your dose you want, your weight and it'll tell you how many lbs to set the plunger to. Or how many pills of whatever dosage to take. The sub reddit is quarentined but I saved it at home. I'll try to remember to upload it to catbox tonight and start sharing it on here.
