 5 Proven Tips  to get rid of your dog or cat Fleas Permanently  Fleas are external parasites, which inhabit the skin, and hide in the fur of cats or other pets with thick hair, and feed on the blood of the cat that inhabits it, causing skin irritation and infections, and may also cause the transmission of many viral diseases to cat. Rarely do you find a cat breeder who did not suffer from this problem with his cat, especially if he is among those who often accompany the cat outside the house.

Medical calculations, part 2, Veterinary Pharmacology Hi this is dr. Herndon and this is part two of our review of medical  calculations. In this article i will be  explaining and demonstrating how to  calculate a drug dose and how to  calculate an amount of a drug that we're  going to administer to a patient. In order to be able to do these  calculations we need to know three  things: you need to know the animal's  body weight,  the drug dosage rate, and the drug  concentration.

It's important to know the difference, and for our purposes a dose of a drug is  what we're going to be calculating. It's  the quantity of drug active ingredient  that's delivered to a patient at one  particular time. So you'll often see a drug dose written  as 20 milligrams or 20 units.
