Answer 1

Did you inject the dosage or use the oral drench?

Cydectin Oral Sheep Drench

(Fort Dodge Labs) For use in healthy sheep to control 13 types of adult and larval stages of internal parasites. Not approved for ewes providing milk for human consumption. Reproductive safety studies in ewes and rams have not been conducted. Administer orally 1 ml per 11 lbs. body weight.

The symptoms of overdose are consistent with mode of action of moxidectin and generally do not occur at less than 10 times the recommended dose.  They are manifested as transient salivation, depression, drowsiness and ataxia 8 and 12 hours post-treatment.  No treatment is generally necessary.  The symptoms resolve in  24 to 48 hours.  There is no specific antidote.

Answer 2

Why oh why oh WHY are you asking this here instead of calling a vet?  Preferably a wildlife specialist?

You might also try asking a pharmacist if they are familiar with veterinary dosing.
