      about an hour ago · ·
    • Nassem N. Naimi the dose is 15-20 mg /kg :)
      on the vial it is written 10% metronidazole
      so if in each ml there is 100mg so I am giving 600mg/kg which is around 30 times the normal dose :P so the animal would be DEAD!!!

      If metronidazole 10% is 100mg/ml and I am giving around 2 to 5 ml /kg

      and the dose is 15 up to 50 mg /kg why no animal showed any signs of toxicity after all that??

      K. 1% is always 10mg/ml.

      So:
      2% (xylazine) = 20mg/ml
      2.5% (enrofloxacin) = 25mg/ml

    • Vikram Dave ‎2% xylazine is 20mg/ml while 10% metro is 5 mg/ml
      about an hour ago · · 1 person ·
    • Rajshankar Tony Sarma Vikram - the percentage works out how many mg of active ingredient there are per ml (well, in theory, how many kilogrammes per litre!). So, by definition, 10% MUST be 100mg/ml (as for ketamine). 5mg/ml is 0.5%.

      I guess that part of the problem is that on bottles they sometimes quote the precise number of milligrammes of e.g. active ingredient X "as the hydrochloride". What actually matters is the effective amount of active ingredient per ml, which...See More
