    Is it possible to cover all dosing requirements for calf to cow by injection only or are there some doses you just have to give orally?

    Yes, but it may limit you in your choice. I don't know of any of the white doses that are available as injections, as a pouron yes but not as an injection. Fasinex, probably the best fluke treatment, certainly the one that acts on the youngest fluke, is only a dose.

    I agree with greysides.
    Also, your vet will advise to vary the type of dose and the manufacturer each time because your animals can become immune to the benefits of certain types of dose if the receive it continually. The smaller range of dose avaliable in injection form does not help this.
