1-2mg/lb is the dosing range. and i think the vet was using the upper range of the dose to get 3-4ml. 3.4ml is the dose for a 4.3lb dog done at 2mg/lb i believe |
lol, I figured it was a mistype b/c you did it in pounds the other day.
It kinda irritates me that it is done in pounds. It just confuses things when almost everything else is done in kg.
