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"


So your dog is 9lbs.

9 x 5= 45
45 divided by 12.5 = 3.6ml
Well okay, it's easy when you don't have to deal with ounces.
