It should say on the medication how many mg there are per ml.
If there are 5mg per ml, than you just need the weight. If the dog weighs 10 pounds, then the dog would get 10 mls.
You need
1. weight
2. dosage..which is 5 mg per pound
3. concentration per ml.
Here is where YA! is dangerous!!! 1 mg IS NOT EQUAL to 1 ml!!!
Let us look at Clavamox...a popular antibiotic.
It contains 50mg of Amoxicillin and 12.5mg of Clavulanic acid IN EACH ML!!!!! That is 62.5mg/ml.
YOU NEED THE CONCENTRATION!!!! AND ALYSSA needs to pull that answer before someone overdoses their pet!!!!!!!!!!

it would be helpful to know the name of the medication, but figure out how many mg's per ml are in the medication and go from there.

One mg is not one ml!!!!! Everyone is right, you have to find out the concentration of the medicine. How many mgs/ml?
Good luck :>)

1 mg is equal to 1 ml. So you need 5ml per pound of body weight. No worries.

ok well i hope you have a fat dropper but each mililiter is approximately equal to one miligram, depending on the density of the liquid. 1 ml of water is exactly 1 mg in mass.

CALL A PHARMACIST AND ASK HIM TO CONVERT IT FOR YOU
