Cydectin Sheep Drench?

Does anyone know anything about this product? Can it be used for goats as well? Different dosage? A friend tells me it's a little less expensive than the regular pour-on cattle drench Cydectin.

Inquiring minds want to know!

TIA

It's less expensive because the concentration is much lower. (1/5th the strength, I think)

Don't get it.

we have used it with good results. I think we gave it at 3x the sheep dose listed. I feel better giving something designed as a drench versus the commonly used "pour on" given orally.

I use it at 1 cc per 10 lbs of body weight. Works very well for me.
