Yep, thats the way we do it, however, I have had a few that manage to spit it 
out.  The bottle calls for 1.5 cc per 100 lbs. I have one guy that I double 
dose on a monthly basis for "muck itch".  Doesn't make sense that it curtails 
the itching, so I'm assuming it eradicates the larvae.  Whatever, it works 
for one horse while anothers' "muck itch" is not improved at all, I beleive 
affected a different way.
