It is
Is it the label printed out by the Surgery ? It does not make sense. Metoclopramide (Vomend/Emeprid etc) is labelled in MG/ML- eg 5mg/ml
I was thinking same thing. Perhaps 125ml is quantity dispensed.

Yep by two different surgeries they are both the same, and it's not the amount that's dispensed eitherIt is

How silly of me to think they dispensed that much for a 3kg rabbit.
They do sell oral emeprid online in that size bottle for dogs or cats. I don'recall mg per ml.
It must just be a labelling error or it refers to something we don't know? [emoji51]
I've had a vet tell me before it's half the rabbits weigh.. But Idk.
I rang up the vets from last night a minute ago and they said he could have more Metacam now, but this whole situation isn't looking good tbh :/

Right big guesses and tired maths here so forgive mistakes.

I bet its this one based on what Clementine was told to have which was 2.2ml for her 4.4kg of weight.
So on medirabbit it says the dose is - 0.5 mg/kg
So
4.4kg x 0.5 = 2.2
2.2 divided by 1 is still 2.2... Giving her dose 2.2ml
By that logic Atticus at 3kg
3kg x 0.5mg = 1.5
1.5 divided by 1 is 1.5ml
I think he needs that as opposed to 0.6ml
Oh and medirabbit says tid, so three times a day at that strength

If your meds are ones in link , 1mg per ml your math is correct to dose 0.5mg per kg.
