I am going to buy the big dog dosage of advantage, but I don't know what size syringe to use. The smallest I could find was 3cc and I bought a box of 100.
I hope that size will work. Has anyone used that size before to measure the advantage? If it is the incorrect size, what size should I use? 1cc? If 3cc can work, how do I measure it??

look back at the threads, put in Advantage in the search box.
The 3cc should have markings between the 2 and three. If I remember right you give them .8cc of the larger dog dose. Don't go by this, cant remember if that is right, but right below the 1, the first mark below the one, should be
.8cc. (it wont be marked that, just a line)The 3 is 3., you want .8 of 1cc if that makes sense.

Don't be surprised when the numbers vanish on the syringe. The solution takes them right off- use an indelible marker to mark the right dosage on the outside of the syringe.

1 cc is easier to dose accurately but 3 cc can work. Just be cautious.

The dose for a small adult cat is 0.4 cc.
