Critical Care mixing directions

[Luvmyzoocrew]

I feel like an idiot like it is going to be simple when someone explains it to me,lol



The directions call to feed 50 cc/kg body weight, of mixed product (divided into 4-6 feedings ), per day to any herbivorous mammal or reptile.



What i need clarification on is it 50 cc/kg per day no matter how much your rabbit weighs? Is it per pound? I want to make sure i have no questions when i need to use this.

50cc/kg is 50cc (cubic centimeters. ml is the same. Dont know what imperal would be) per kg of body weight. I think is would be about 25cc/pound. so a 4lb rabbit would need about 100cc a day. (1kg=2.2lbs)
I believe those amounts are if they are not eating anything on their own. If they are eating, then you can probably use less. But if you are using it, consult a vet just to be sure (if the vet didn't reccomend to use it). Use your est judgement about how much your rabbit needs a day.

I had to use some for Sophie becasue she had lost some weight and needed to put some one. My vet said about 30cc twice a day. Sophie is about 3.5lbs
Hope this helps.

I think the math works out to closer to 85 or 90 cc for a 4lb rabbit?

Off the top of my head.. 50=2.2 lbs, 75=3.3 lbs, 100=4.4 lbs ...

I was never very good at conversons and didn't want to break out the calculator. But it's close enough.

So would it be 175 cc for a 7 1/2 lb rabbit?



Ha there was a riddle smarter the a 5th grader that i didnt answer ,lol, can you see why,lol

If its 50 ccs for each kg, then its 50 ccs for each 2.2 lbs. So if you have a 7.5 lb rabbit that would be about 175 ccs a day. I think thats right.
