For you smart people

[Double R Ranch]

Hey all.
Here's a question for you smart people. For some reason I just can't figure this out! Never had a problem before. Maybe to many knocks to the head? Ok here goes.
I have a medication that is broke down like this:
0.67cc
1.34cc
2.68cc
4.02cc
For some reason I can't figure out how much this is via syrenge lines. Can you help? Thanks!

Don't fit the 'smart people' part and this may not help, but one cc = one mL.

Do you really think you need to be that precise?

That part I know. Its the little numbers im wondering about.
Thanks for the reply

Yes. Unfotunitly I do. Thanks for the reply.

The only way your gonna get that precise is to do it by weight or specific gravity, but that is also temperaure dependant. Get a good quality gram scale, weight an empty syringe, fill with one ml or cc of your med, record the weight. Do the math to get to your desired cc or ml decimals included. That's the only way I can think of. Make sure you do the weights at all the same temp, as volume as it pertains to weight is temp dependent

Just got my answer. A syringe is broke down into tenths. I got it figured out. Its not a big deal if its perfectly exact dosage. Thanks for the help.

Tenths is not accurate either...for your accuracy requirements you need a syringe that goes to hundredths since you put it to us that way. Actually rounded everything is multiples of thirds. What are you shooting that has to be that accurate?

. . . and, to hooknline's point, if you want to be that accurate you have to take into account specific gravity and the effect of temperature. liquids all expand and contract so 1/10 of a ml in January contains a different level of concentrate than 1/10 of an ml in August. to be that accurate you'll also have to have a means of assessing shelf life and half life of the material in question so as to adjust according to the specific gravity of the material. in short, good luck.

What if you are computing dosage by the weight of the animal and it takes a big dump and pisses a bucket full between the time you get a weight and compute the dosage? Do you reweigh and recompute?

Don't get sore because I beat you to it. I've been waiting since the responce to my first post to ask this.. Just had to wait to time it right. :lol2:

You asked for an answer from the smart people. I'm not very smart but know enough to get in some trouble. So, you got the smart answer and the smart azzed answer. Couldn't ask for more than that!

All answers should be multiple choice. Smart..smartass, half ass or whatever. Just the cows way of showing you SHE is still in control.,....All was done in good fun I'm sure.
