DEBATE ON DEX / SOLU-DELTA / CORTICO-STEROIDS

[bulldoghistorian]

Why don't you post the dosages of dex you would administer for anti shock purposes?

i follow my vet advise 4mg/kg

That is a reasonable dose, and on the high-end, given the 0.05 mg/kg - 5.0 mg/kg recommended range.

At your vet's recommended dose, this means a 42 lb dog would get 76.4 mg.

42 lb = 19.09 kg
19.09 kg x 4 mg/kg = 76.4 mg

If you had a 2 mg/ml bottle of dex, this would mean your dog would get 38.2 ml of dex for shock.

With a 4 mg/ml bottle of dex, your dog would get 19.1 ml for shock.
