Anyone good at math?

Sometimes if you hit wqorms too hard and they all die off in the gut tract, they can actually poison the animal before they are expelled. Pain in the tail, but often 2 wormings are better than one super duper one. Seen it in our sheep and in the cattle.

If you had a gram scale you could measure out half a package and mix that it's good for 90 days once it is reconstituted.

I just keep it in a sealed canning jar.

I do have one, bought it specifically for this.

which one did you get heard so many mixed reviews and trying to figure out what is a good one to use.

Bought a tiny weight for calibration, too.

I bought Prohibit, but I don't need all of it, 1-3 doses at most.

I want to make a mixture of one dose at a time, which is 2ml per 50lb animal.

I was able to figure out how to shrink down Corid powder, still a large mixture, but far better than the whole bag wasted.

The Prohibit says-
Whole bag, 52g, goes into empty syringe(drench gun).
Then add water to the 17.5 fl. oz line afterwards.

Use 2ml of this mixture per 50 lbs.
___________

I guess I first need to figure out how much space the powder uses up of the 17.5 fl oz line, no?
Fills 80ml or 1/3 cup measuring cup.
Which fills 2 and 1/3 fl oz. Maybe just 2 as it starts dissolving as you fill?
So you have about 15.5 fl oz of water to 52g of powder.

IF that is right, how do you figure out the rest?
Do I divide 52 by 15.5?
So that equals 3.35g per 1 fl oz.
Then use 6.7g per 1fl oz per 50 lb??
Or is that wrong?

Or maybe my way of attempting to figure it out is wrong....

Help!

The very helpful person I know who's done a lot of the math for this stuff is on the backyard chickens site @casportpony
