Pet Health Video: Pet Drug Dosage

PDSA vet, Lynda, has a Jack Russell terrier called Jack on her consulting table. She says that Jack is going to need pain-killer and sedative medication. She tells us that the sedative medication contains 2 milligrams of the sedative drug per millilitre and that Jack needs 0.1 milligrams of the sedative drug for each kilogram that he weighs. He weighs 5 kilograms. She asks if, based on these figure, you can calculate how much of the medication Jack will need.
