Albon Dosage Calculator

The Albon Dosage Calculator estimates liquid medication volume (mL) based on your pet's weight, medication concentration, and treatment duration. This tool helps pet owners and breeders ensure safe and accurate administration for effective treatment. Whether you are treating coccidiosis, managing a bacterial infection, or calculating the total supply needed, this calculator provides precise dosing guidance.

Concentration in mg/mL (typically 125 mg/mL, 250 mg/mL, or 500 mg/mL)
Number of days for treatment (typically 5-14 days)

How Liquid Medication Volume Is Calculated

Liquid medication volume represents the exact amount of Albon suspension you need to draw into a syringe to treat the infection effectively.

Volume (mL) = (Weight (kg) × Dosage (mg/kg)) ÷ Concentration (mg/mL)

The steps are:

  • Convert your pet's weight to kilograms for metric precision.
  • Multiply weight by the dosage rate (55 mg/kg for Day 1, 27.5 mg/kg for maintenance).
  • Divide the total milligrams by the medication concentration to find the liquid volume.

This standard veterinary protocol ensures the drug reaches a therapeutic level without causing toxicity.

What Your Liquid Medication Volume Means

This number tells you precisely how much liquid to administer by mouth each day to fight the infection.

Precision for Small Pets

If the result is under 0.5 mL, use a 1 mL or insulin syringe. This small volume requires high precision to avoid under-dosing.

Standard Administration

For results between 1 mL and 3 mL, standard dosing is usually easy. You can typically give this amount at once using a standard oral syringe.

Managing Large Volumes

If the volume is over 5 mL, split the dose into two halves. Giving too much liquid at once can cause vomiting or gagging.

Total Supply Check

Ensure you have enough total mL for the full duration. Running out early can stop the treatment from working.

Important Note

Always shake the medication bottle well before measuring. Albon is a suspension, and the active ingredient settles at the bottom. Not shaking it can lead to incorrect dosing.
