Winterpaws Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I've lost the special syringe that comes with Metacam and I'm having trouble remembering the dosage rate for dogs. Is there a calculator somewhere online that I could work out the mL amount to give? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janba Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) From the metacam I have here (1.5 mg) On the first day 0.2 mg per kg bobyweight then 0.1 mg per kg once daily ETA Should be given with food Edited January 4, 2008 by Janba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winterpaws Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 I think I might just go get another syringe from the vet Laffi are you sure that dosage is right if the medication has 1.5mg per mL? Can you show me how to calculate that - how scary that I once wanted to be a human nurse ;) I am sure if I was feeling 100% myself I could work this out but right now my own head is pounding ...............
