Pretty wide dosage range...but we would generally start with 13mg/lb twice a day. So it depends on the concentration you have there as to how much to give. keep in mind some will react to the sulfa. and you need to watch them to be sure. It's not that common...but just as some people can't take penicillin...same is true for some on the Sulfa.
What are you tying to treat with it? What condition?
And...I'm not a vet...nor did I sleep at Holiday Inn Express last night...So take this as internet advice.

My male dog was attacked & I mean he didn't even have all fours on the ground from the porch when the stray lab bulldozed him from the side, took me 20minutes to get them apart. Every time I'd get my dog to release the lab wouldn't. My dog ended up with some wounds... I was treating with vetericyn but one of the wounds wasn't healing because of the area it is in and he has been scratching it so there is a little infection. I am wanting to start giving him an antibiotic but I may not need to as I changed from treating with the vetericyn to Spurr's Big Fix and put some lime on it after spraying it. After just two days of this instead of the vetericyn it looks a million times better! On the Uniprim container it says 3.75grams per 110lbs. My dog weighs 52lbs... Now this may be a dumb question but do you know how many grams are in a cc?

ok...so that question has the answer of "it depends". One gram of water = 1 cc but since grams are a measure of mass and cc is a measure of volume...the actual relationship depends on the density of the fluid being measured.
That was s total nerd answer...but I'm not sure what you are asking. What form is your Unaprim in? Powder or tablets? concentration?

It is the powder form... it comes with a 32cc scoop but there are no other measurements on the scoop...
