Before you change any dose, for any medication, you must talk to your rabbit savvy vet!
The calculator will only show the dosing based on the data inputted.
Based on the numbers entered, your rabbit of 1 kg (2.2 lbs) would be taking 0.67 mL [mls] (0.67 cc) of medicine, that has a concentration of 1.5 mg/mL. Therefore your rabbit is getting a dose of 1 mg of medicine per 1 kg of body weight (1 mg/kg), 1000 mcg/kg.

| Times a Day | Amount | |
| SID | Once a day | 0.67 mL |
| BID | Twice a day | 0.33 mL |
| TID | 3 times a day | 0.22 mL |
| QID | 4 times a day | 0.17 mL |
1 mg/kg × 1 kg = 1 mg
1 mg ÷ 1.5 mg/mL = 0.66666666666667 mL
0.66666666666667 mL ≈ 0.67 mL [mls] (0.67 cc)
