I don't know what to use for a 2 pounder but I give my 7pound yorkie 1/2cc of children Robitussin.

Does anyone know what KIND of Robitussin to give a 2 pound yorkie pup and what the DOSAGE would be?

I don't know if I should use adult Robitussin DM or children's Robitussin.

I went to the vet and the receptionist told me to use regular Robitussin (whatever that is) and she gave me a syringe that she marked. She drew a line to where I should measure the Robitussin. I am double checking on the dosage on this board....because I asked the receptionist how much that line was marked to and she told me that the whole syringe held 1 tsp and she said that 1 tsp=1 CC. She said that the mark was at 1/4 tsp but when I came home I realized the syringe held more than 1 tsp.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]
