And actually this may be the same. The calculation I just did makes me think that.

The usual dose is 1-2mg/lb.
Three ml would be 7.5mg which sounds find (but on the high side).
Four ml would be 10mg which, imo, is quite high and mamy be considered an overdose by some.

If you used the minimum dose (1mg/lb), she would need just under 2mg or there abouts. By the way, it does not have a sedation affect on all dogs including mine. I wouldn't count on it...
Sorry, just under 2ml.

Linda, where is the overdose?
The vet is the one who said to overdose...
