Not sure what percent solution the vets are using..

Most vets will prescribe Ivermectin at a tappered dosage to prevent toxicity and allergic reactions.
Normally started at .3 then increased up to .5 as the highest dose for a dog up to 60 pounds.

i would not start a dog at .6. You may see toxicity signs such as lethargy, diziness, temporary blindness, etc..not a good thing. if you see any of this stop med for 3-5 days until symptoms go away and then do as most do and work up to a level the dog is able to tolerate.

Again, this is for demodextic manage treatment. Not as a worming prevention dosage. that is very different.
