Rabbit Metacam Calculator for milligrams per 1 kg of Weight [Updated on: 08/31/24 04:06]

       Before you change any dose, for any medication, you must talk to your rabbit savvy vet! There may be reasons for the current dose level.

       Any reference to a dose (mL or cc) based on weight (kg) will not apply to any specific rabbit! The same rabbit that is recovering from a spay, neuter, broken leg, or dental would need a different dose depending on the condition & rabbit. The calculator will only show the dosing based on the data inputted. The results will have nothing to do with the correct dose for your rabbit's particular condition. This must be done by a rabbit savvy vet!! This information should only be used to compare.

1 cc or cc³ (cubic centimeter) = 1 mL or mL (milliliter)
1 mls = 1 mL
SID = once a day | BID = twice a day

        Based on the numbers entered, your rabbit of 1 kg (2.2 lbs) is taking a total of 0.4 mL (0.4 cc) of Metacam a day. You are using the oral suspension with a concentration of 1.5 mg/mL, therefore your rabbit is getting a dosage of 0.6 mg of medicine per 1 kg of body weight (0.6 mg/kg).

Math for a 1 kg or 2.2 lb rabbit:
0.4 mL × 1.5 mg/mL ÷ 1 kg ≈ 0.6 mg/kg

Steps
0.4 mL × 1.5 mg/mL = 0.6 mg
0.6 mg ÷ 1 kg = 0.6 mg/kg ≈ 0.6 mg/kg

0.6 mg ÷ 2.20462262 lbs = 0.27215542222823 mg/lb ≈ 0.27 mg/lb

If you are writing down any information please read: "Unsafe Medical Abbreviations." Note: In the US the correct abbreviation for millileters is mL per NIST. Most other places use all lower case: mL.
