You haven't stated that you used drench or
injectable.
I have always used oral drench
According to my info:
1 ml = 1 cc
dosage for Ivomectin (oral drench) is 2.5 ml
/ 10 kg. of body weight.
To calculate:
90 lbs divided by 2 =45 less 10 %(4.5) =41
kg.
dosage 2.5 mo per 10 kg
Therefore 41 kg divided by 10 = 4.1 X 2.5 ml
=10.25 ml Ivomectin oral drench.
Usually when you find that you have 'bottle jaw' it
is imperitive that a sufficient dose is given.
I have found that sometimes I have had to
administer the dewormer twice within 2-3 days.
Hope this is of some help.
Chris.

Subject: [blackbelly] bottlejaw
I'm in need of advice over bottlejaw. I
have a ewe that lambed twins 1 month ago. She was wormed with Ivermec
when she began to show signs of bottlejaw, approximately 2 weeks ago. We
wormed her again last Sat. with 1.0 cc Ivermec, as she weighs 90 lbs. We
still see no improvement and the bottlejaw is getting
worse. She is nursing the twins fine, but there is a slimmy
mucus on her hide quarters and hips. Any suggestions? Can we worm
again? Do I need to change wormers? Did I give her enough Ivermec?
Help please!!! She's a good mother that has twins each lambing and I'd hate to
loose her.
