The formula for figuring out the dosage for Childrens Liquid Benedry is:
Your dogs body weight times 5 divided by 12.5 = dose in cc/ml
To figure out your dogs body weight you have to convert ounces to pounds...
EX: a dog that weighs 4 pounds 10 ounces would weigh 4.625 pounds
you must take the 10 ounces and divide by 16 then add the 4 pounds...
10 divided by 16 = .625 + 4 =4.625
4.625 X 5 divided by 12.5 =1.85 cc/ml
Since the info is worn off your syringe...I'd either go by the vet's and get another or the drugstore sells liquid medicine dispensing spoons with the milligrams listed.
