Reminder: because the concentrations vary giving just the volume (ml) does not give any information at all about how much medication is given.
Ex: A ferret who is getting full 1.0 ml of 1 ml/mg gets the same amount of medication as a ferret who gets 0.2 ml of 5 mg/ml.
Think of the thinner one as being like chicken broth and the more concentrated one as being thick chicken soup. The thicker one has more chicken in each spoonful. That is why it is essential to either give the mg/ml (concentration) as well as the volume, or to work out the mg level and give that. Without that information it is impossible to know how much actual medication is involved.
That is why part of rule number 2 is in

So, when replying, please, remember to give enough information. Concentrations can usually be found on the bottle. Look for mg/ml
Thanks!
