Medication dosage question

[Craftlady]

Any liquid antibotic I have ever given has been 1 ml (15 ml bottle) and that has been for any size.
Either done it 1x a day or 2x a day.
Does your PetSmart have a vet inhouse? If so since you work there I'm sure they would tell you.

We had a large cat (16 lb) who got 1.5 cc 2x a day. I think the dose is 1 cc/ 10 lbs, so yours would get 2 cc 2x a day. Good luck!

what is the dosage of the pills?? if a pill is lets say 250 mgs then give the equivalent in liquid form they can be 250 mgs for one tspn or 500 or even less just check the label........can you tell us so give e better advice??

Ok, dumb question: is cc the same as ml? Because my syringe is listed in ml.

There's no vet at my Petsmart yet. I just mixed the Clavimox into liquid this morning so no worries there.

1 ml is just below 1/4 tsp of liquid measurement.

5 ml = 1 tsp liquid measurement

10 ml - 2 tsp liquid measurement


2 1/2 ml on my medicine syringe = 1/2 tsp liquid measurement

I'd call your local pharmacy, they will tell you.

Sorry, but how the heck does someone use that site?
I think you need a mathmatical engineering degree to figure it out. I must be having a blonde day (I'm not blonde).

LOL just place the number you want to convert in the right side blank spaces.........

for example input "1" in the right side to where it says "cc" on the left side
than click "convert" and it will convert that one to all other units including "ml" you just scroll down a bit.....

hope i made myself a bit clearer
