Does anyone have the dosage per pound for Valbazen?

You do have the wrong stuff. You need the injectable plain Ivermectin, make sure that you do NOT get Ivomec Plus.

Ginger works in about 80 percent of cases. About 1/2 teaspoon. If it is really bad do it the night before and the day of. You can mix it with food, or mix it with canned food or peanut butter.

My vet who is a top breeder recommends avoiding chicken based foods if you are wanting to do any breeding, as the hormone residues can affect reproduction.
