Hi Helen,

The concentration tends to be 0.8% or 1%.
Dosage for either is around 0.1ml, or 2 drops from a dropper bottle.

This is for adult guinea pigs - 6 months plus.
 
I was wondering the same thing myself actually and hoping to find out...previously bought from vets but I'm still a novice to be fair.
 
10ml is plenty, Helen. Of 50ml, over 40ml is wasted! It's best to dispose of opened bottles after around 6 months - I have treated out of bottles open beyond that but most bottles suggest disposing of it after 6 months.

At a dose of 0.1ml per pig, you're only using 1.6ml in total to treat 16 pigs. 10ml is enough - in fact, have you got the link?
