Question

A 100lb dog needs amoxicillin 20mg b.i.d The concentration of amoxicillin is 100mg /mL. How many milliliters will you give at each dosing?

Answer 1

If the dog has infection most of the veterinarian will prefer the antibiotics to kill the pathogenic organisms.We have to administer the drug in correct dosage to avoid most of the side effects.Here in this case the dog is weighing 100Ib that means 45.3 kg.

The dog needs amoxicillin 20mg b.i.d.

The concentration of amoxicillin is 100mg/ml

We will calculate the each dosing of amoxicillin :

= weight in kg x Recommended dosage in mg $\div$ concentration of medicine in mg/ml

= 45.3 x 20 $\div$ 100mg

= 906 $\div$ 100

= 9.06 ml

Thus we can say that 9ml of amoxicillin at each dose can be give to the dog
