Answer #1

ANSWER.

* Equivalent dose in mg/kg.

     Weight of the cat = 10 lb.

Convert lb to kg for calculation

           1lb = 0.45 kg.

   So

      Weight of the cat = 4.5 kg.

   Each tablet = 6 mg.

   Total tablet required for the cat = 3.5 tablets (31/2tab).

    Total mg of tablet required = 3 * 6 + 3 mg(1/2 tab)

                                               = 18 + 3

                                               = 21 mg.

   Equivalent dose in mg/kg = 21mg / 4.5 kg.
