I rescued 2 mice a week ago. They've been taken to a mouse breeder since, she's found they have ringworm. I've treated my rats, and me.
What's the per kg amount for dosing the cats?

Oh, sorry. ivermectin. For rats, 0.125ml per kg works, I think it's the sheep drench strength liquid, it tastes vile!

Ivermectin is used to treat certain external mites and internal worms - ringworm is NOT a worm. It is a fungus.

Do not dose your cats with Ivermectin to treat or prevent ringworm or any other disease/parasite. It is not registered for use in cats and is not appropriate.
If your cats are suspected of having ringworm, take them to see a Vet.

My kitten had ringworm and the vet gave me tablets and a type of wash to wash him in.
