I think 1cc is equal to 1ml.

CC is cubic centimeter and ml is millimeter and both
represent volume.

[Moderator's Note: ml is milliLiter not milliMeter. Millimeter is a measurement of length.]

MG is milligram and represents weight and is not equal
to 1cc or 1ml. It could be possible to have 1mg of
Benedryl in a 1ml solutions.

I'm not a vet or a chemist.
