To determine how many cc's (milliliters) of the medication you need to administer, follow these steps:
1. **Calculate the total dosage needed**:
The dog weighs 10 kg and requires 15 mg per kg.
\[
\text{Total dosage} = \text{weight} \times \text{dosage per kg} = 10 \, \text{kg} \times 15 \, \text{mg/kg} = 150 \, \text{mg}
\]
2. **Know the concentration of the medication**:
The concentration is 100 mg/ml.
3. **Calculate the volume to administer**:
To find out how many milliliters (cc's) of the medication you need to give, use the formula:
\[
\text{Volume (ml)} = \frac{\text{Total dosage (mg)}}{\text{Concentration (mg/ml)}}
\]
Plugging in the values:
\[
\text{Volume} = \frac{150 \, \text{mg}}{100 \, \text{mg/ml}} = 1.5 \, \text{ml}
\]
Therefore, you should administer **1.5 cc (ml)** of the medication intramuscularly.
