is this the same measure you use with "Revolution", or is the one drop from a ML syringe without the needle, or from a dropper, or 1/64 Tsp. drop measure?
Again not an issue of which to use, just whether the measure is the same or not, having not used Revolution before, that sounds safer.
My rehabber mentor also used this technique to dose wild squirrels who had mites, especially at this time of year when their nests haven't been refreshed with new bedding since maybe last fall.
What I do is use a walnut in shell and open the seam a bit using a nutcracker; I then squirt in .05ml of ivermectin, shake the nut and let the seam close back. I wipe off any residue that leaked on the shell itself, then throw out the nut.
It has seemed to work really well!
