You are administering 1/4 ml clavamox liquid every 12 hours to six kittens with an upper respiratory infection. How many doses are available from a 15 ml bottle

To determine how many doses are available from a 15 ml bottle of Clavamox liquid, we can use the following calculation:

1. Each dose is \( \frac{1}{4} \) ml.
2. The total volume of the bottle is 15 ml.

The number of doses available from the bottle is calculated by dividing the total volume of the bottle by the volume of each dose:

\[
\text{Number of doses} = \frac{15 \, \text{ml}}{\frac{1}{4} \, \text{ml per dose}}
\]

\[
\text{Number of doses} = 15 \times 4 = 60
\]

So, there are 60 doses available in a 15 ml bottle.

Since you're administering to six kittens every 12 hours, each kitten receives 2 doses per day, which means:

- Total doses per day for all six kittens = \( 6 \times 2 = 12 \) doses per day.

To find out how many days the bottle will last:

\[
\text{Days supply} = \frac{60 \, \text{doses}}{12 \, \text{doses per day}} = 5 \, \text{days}
\]

Therefore, the 15 ml bottle will last for 5 days for the six kittens.

Would you like further details or have any questions? Here are some related questions you might find useful:

1. How do you adjust the dosage if one of the kittens requires a different amount?
2. What should you do if the bottle is not sufficient for the entire treatment duration?
3. How can you ensure that each kitten receives the correct dose every time?
4. What are the potential side effects of Clavamox in kittens?
5. How should Clavamox liquid be stored to maintain its effectiveness?

**Tip:** Always check the expiration date and storage instructions of medications like Clavamox to ensure their effectiveness throughout the treatment duration.
