Well the Product Information says 1 MU/kg body weight. So the 5 MU vial would be for a 5 kg cat, which is exactly 11 lbs (5 x 2.2) on the money. So Lucy is exactomundo with 1 vial! Then Jazz is 4.05 kg, so say 80% of the vial. Then Grace is 3.09 kg, so say 60% of the vial. I guess your vet is saying what the hell, if we got it let's use it.
For dogs, it's 2.5 MU/kg. So a great dane costs what, 10 grand to inject? Nina, are you sure you really have a way to keep the unused sterile? I'd be really worried about that. -Kyle ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nina" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 3:56 PM Subject: Re: Some More Virbagen Omega Info > The last time they were weighed, (I haven't invested in a scale), was on > 11/24.
