I can't find much online about how to dose using this. Its the 0.8% solution like it says on Guine Lynx but there isn't any info about whether to dilute it or what to do with it! Can someone help me out with this one please. My piggy weight 1054 grams and the directions say 2.5ml/10kgs. I am completely lost I would really really appreciate it if someone could help me out here. I am absolutely no good with number at all. Thanks guys.

Guinealynx states that no dilution may be necessary and that it can be given orally or topically.

If my math is correct and based on the dose calculator at gl:
Your pig would weigh approx. 1.05kg. An oral or topical dose based on 0.2mg/kg would indicate that you would need to give your pig a 0.21mg dose. If you have a 1cc syringe then you would draw up .2 cc's and give this to your pig orally or put it on the bald spot behind one of the ears.
