I'm just checking to make sure that I have the right doses of ivermectin for my pigs. I have a 5mg ivermectin per mL Pour On solution, which is a 0.5% solution, right?

I just want to make sure that I have the right dose before I treat them. Does this seem right?

Perry weighs 2.9 lbs and would need 0.1315 cc of Ivermectin
Oliver weighs 2.8 lbs and would need 0.127 cc of Ivermectin

Also, the Ivermectin goes behind the ears right? Does it go behind both or just one? Perry has a scratch behind his ear from itching (poor piggie) and I was wondering if I would just put it behind his other ear instead.

Calculations look ok to me, but I haven't had much coffee this morning!

And the medicine can go anywhere on the skin. People just usually use the bald spots behind the ears because there's not so much hair.
