Ivermectin dose at 0.2mg/kg for prevention, according to Zelenko protocol ... divide their weight in lb by 2.2 to get kg, then multiply by 0.2 to give dose.
Then determine number of 3mg tablets - whole or halves to give
If using paste, weigh out using micro scales to ensure correct amount is dosed - do not just rely on markings on syringe for dose, especially for small ponies
Eg 100 lb pony /2.2 = 45kg
Dose = 0.2 x 45 = 9mg = 3 x 3mg tabs
If paste is 18.7g/kg Ivermectin = 18.7mg/g Then dose = 9/18.7 = 0.48g paste
Ivermectin dose at 0.2mg/kg ... divide their weight in lb by 2.2 to get kg.
