I have the pour-on 5mg ivermectin per mL.

I have a .972kg piggie.

I do .0972cc of the ivermectin. Do I round up to .10 or shoulod it be .09?

The syringe isn't as accurate as my calculation.

It's so close you could go either way.

Where do you get pour-on ivermectin from?

I believe Guinea lynx suggests to round down

I followed this guide and it didn't say anywhere about rounding up or down. http://www.guinealynx.info/topical_i...n_pour-on.html

Peggysue,
I'm sorry,it wasn't GL where I read about rounding down,it was here
The Pigloo Forums :: View topic - New piggy with flaking skin
I was all over the internet today gathering info on treating lice myself since I ordered some pour-on Agri-mectin(same concentration of Ivermectrin as the pour-on Ivomec)
Sorry it's a lot to read through,but if I was doing it I would round down,I think it would be safer than rounding up(mind you I have never actually had to treat for mites before)

Honestly, Peggysu isn't going to overdose by giving an extra .028. Now if we were talking huge doses then you'd want to round down.
