Just weigh yourself then weigh again holding Daisy..
 
Hiya,

Kitchen scales will be more accurate at small weights. You can pop her in a small box or a carrier on pop her on the scales. It's hard to guess size accurately from a photo but she's probably between 1.5-3kg so check what your scales go up to.

Scamp will just sit on them (if you dangle a treat above his nose)

but the others I all do on the same scales in their carrier :)

If it's definitely a vial of the Advantage for small dogs/cats/rabbits, then you use the entire contents of the vial.

It should have a plastic top that breaks off, so you can't re-seal it anyway.

i wouldnt put any more on then, if its for rabbits of over 4kg shes only a 1/4 of that...its better than nothing what youve given her :D

i personally am going to stick with the bob martin stuff as the dosage was clearly written on the back..... altho i must get my ass to p@h as Alvin the monster is due a treatment about now :oops:
