    Robson99, if some of the lambs you bought in are carrying fluke that are partially resistant to the flukicude you're using then using a half dose is going to be more less-effective so you're quite likely not to be getting the results you wish for. These will then survive to contaminate your pastures with resistant eggs. You will escape for a while as lambs will be going for slaughter and not present for long but soon enough if you have snail habitats present the problem will rear it's head as resistant fluke are present in high enough numbers to cause problems for the lambs.

    The aim of argument, or of discussion, should not be victory, but progress. Joseph Joubert

    The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It's to promote critical thinking.

    I dont need to get it. Did you read my post there short keep LAMBS. They will be hanging before any resistance has built up
    I didn't ask for an education on resistance. I asked about withdrawal time. 1 pint out of the system compared to 5. Simple question . Nothing to do with resistance
    The pints comparison would not be accurate. Drugs break down at a standard rate. so each ml will need the same amount of time to leave the blood. Withdrawal time would be the same even if you overdosed as far as I know.

    The standard rate is the half life. As the name suggests it's the time it takes to eliminate half the drug. It takes the same amount of time to reduce from 2ml to 1ml as it does from 4ml to 2ml. As such half a dose will take one half life less and double the dose one half life more.

    That's what I'd assume too but I wouldn't act on it without getting advice from someone who knows that drug's action

    I would still go with the recommended withdrawal as the half life of the drug might only be hours or a couple of days. It'll have to go through a lot of half life's to be out of the system.
