The injectable ivermection is diluted by my vet.
This solution is diluted wtih propylene glycol as in the previous
post. You don't use what you have straight up because it is too
concentrated,
and almost impossible to dose it into the ear at this strength.

I would ask your vet about the dosing and diltution. Not sure waht you
have
and wouldn't advise you to use it without double checking with your vet.
