If you have any questions on the correct dosage for your rabbit talk to your rabbit savvy vet. The information below is for reference only! The calculator will only show the dosing based on the data inputted & Beaphar's dosing recommendations. Talk to a rabbit savvy vet.
Each pipette contains 150 µg (micrograms or mcg) [0.15 mg - milligrams] of ivermectin. Beaphar recommends 1 pipette per 750 g of body weigh.
Beaphar warns that rabbits less than 300 grams (0.661 lbs) you should not be using this Anti-Parasite Spot product. The calculator will round up to 1 pipette when a rabbit weighs between 300 grams and 749 grams.
Beaphar recommends rounding down when the math results in a fraction of a pipette. Example: Your rabbit weighs 2.75 kg (5.51 lbs). So 2750 g ÷ 750 g = ⌊3.67⌋ pipettes, so you would use 3 pipettes.

Based on the numbers entered, your rabbit of 1 kg (2.2 lbs) is using a total of 0.5 mL (1 pipettes) of Anti-Parasite Spot On. The concentration is 0.3 mg/mL, therefore your rabbit is getting a dosage of 0.15 mg/kg.
Math for a 1 kg or 2.2 lb rabbit: 1 kg × 1000 = 1000 g ÷ 750 g = 1.33 pipettes (1 kg × 1000 = 1000 g ÷ 750 g = 1.3333333333333 pipettes) 0.5 mL × 0.3 mg/mL ÷ 1 kg ≈ 0.15 mg/kg 0.5 mL ≈ 10 gtts (metric drops) If you are writing down any information please read: "Unsafe Medical Abbreviations." Note: In the US the correct abbreviation for millileters is mL and microgram is mcg, per NIST. Most all other places use all lower case: ml and ug (or µg).
