How much ivomec for a 48 pound kid

Human kid that is.

We did our barn chores last night and I noticed the waterer was looking pretty nasty. Between the goats, horse, and guineas using it - it had a variety of poo in it. I emptied it and scrubed it out. After it filled back up, I went back to scooping the horse pen out.

A few minutes later I saw it - DD (8) was drinking out of the waterer that I just rinses the poo out of!!!!!

Wondering - does Ivomec or Cydectin work on children?????? If she starts to go pale and lose weight, I guess I will have to take her to the DR and make her confess.

Ivomec has actually been used on humans, but most parasites are "host specific"

E Coli is the most likely thing she would get from that water, and that is treated with antibiotics
