Why don't you inject it under the skin like you do with cattle?

Had his checkup last week at the vet for everything. He's healthy as can be. Negative for heartworms. The trifexis sounds good, since it deals with fleas as well.

No. Just 1/10 CC for every 10 lbs straight from the bottle.

IIRC because that can be fatal to the dog. I forget the exact reason but I had researched it before. It's out there if you Google it.
You can actually give it to your dog every day to help treat mange too. I was told by a vet to give it to one of my dogs every day for two weeks to help him get rid of mange. It worked.

I don't know. Probably could do it by mouth with cows but if I had to guess nobody does because it's just much easier to poke em.
LL, I'm not sure if it's because if ivomec, but my dogs live outside and never get fleas. The only time I see them is on pups I haven't started worming with ivomec yet.
