1 ml = 1000 microliters (ul)
250 mg/100 ml = 2.5 mg/ml
12.5 mg/ 5 ml = 2.5 mg/ml, so the dosages between what your vet initially said and the sticky are the same.
3 ml = 7.5 mg of benadryl, so I'm guessing he based his calculation on a 7 lb dog.
It's a great idea to do the test dose because some dogs (and kids) get a paradoxical reaction to the medication and it actually makes them more hyper. |
