Gettin Jiggy Wit It Posts: 2734	Ok I feel really dumb and this maybe a really stupid question but how many cc dex is 2.5 mg? It comes in a 2 mg and a 4 mg solution. Edited by WetSaddleBlankets 2015-02-27 6:22 AM

The Advice Guru Posts: 6419	total performance - 2015-02-28 7:04 AM For the 2 mg you can give 10 cc, for the 4mg you give 5cc Your calculations would be giving 20mg of dex? I don't know the safe dosage of dex as my vet doesn't perscribe it, as it can cause laminitis if the horse has a predisposing disease such as cushings, or given too much, or if given joint injections with a steroid in the mixture Edited by cheryl makofka 2015-03-01 12:55 PM

And the dosage I said above is what our vets down here give when needed based on the strength of the dex.
