Given:
Stock dose/concentration of 20% Acetylcysteine (200 mg/mL)
150 mg/kg dose of Acetylcysteine
Weight of the dog is 13.2 lb
First we must convert 13.2 lb to kg:
13.2 lb/(2.2kg/lb) = 6 kg
Then we must calculate the dose:
(150 mg/kg)(6kg) = 900 mg
Lastly, we must calculate the dose in liquid form to be administered:
(900 mg)/(200 mg/mL) = 4.5 mL
Therefore, 4.5 mL of 20% Acetylcysteine should be given.
