Dose a liquid pet medication by weight and concentration.
The amount of drug in milligrams is the pet's weight times the per-kilogram dose. Dividing that by the liquid's concentration yields the volume in milliliters to give. Liquid meds are labeled by concentration, so giving dose by weight without first converting to volume is a common and risky dosing error.
