While I too never give dosages out online, I don't think sharing them is against the law. Prescribing yes, but sharing info, no. Anyone can go get the Mader text for instance, from amazon and get the info for themselves. Yet, using a prescription drug without a prescription, even on your own animals is against the law. Now to totally get into the grey area, many dewormers are not prescription, hence people buying them by the gallon at a farmer's shop. Yet, using them on something other than cattle is off-label, and thus is again, illegal ain't it? (without the expertise of a vet of course, off label drugs are definately used regularly)
All in all, and to keep this sort of on topic to the thread, is that there is more to deworming than knowing the dosage, thus the ethical reason why dosages are not shared online.
