You receive a new order for doxycycline for a Carrie, a 0.8 lb parrot. Doxycycline for this particular patient should be dosed at 25 mg/kg given twice daily for 45 days.

(A) How many milligrams of doxycycline should Carrie get for each dose?
(B) The vet asks that you compound a suspension so the bird gets 0.5 mL twice daily. Using the contents of doxycycline 100 mg capsules, how many capsules will you need and what will your total volume be?

My answers:
(A) 9 mg
(B) 9 capsules; 45 mL (but the answer key says 50 mL)
