Proper Dosage

[Lazyacre]

Trying to convert ml to cc's. Trying to give a shot to a sick cow and wanting to make sure I have the numbers correct. 1200 # cow giving LA 200. Label dosage is 4.5ml/100# Somewhere I found that CC and ML are equal...true or not? Any advice is appreciated!

For all practical purposes, yes, ml and cc are interchangeable.

Yes, they are the same.

ml and cc are the same. When giving LA 200 don't put the whole dose at one spot split it up at a few different spots , it can leave a lump if too much at one place.

I think the packaging even says no more then 10 cc's or some such per site. We cheat and use 12 cc syringes and put in 12 cc's per site. Keeps me from having to stick them as many times. That's on adults. Calves we only do 5 cc's per site
