how would milligrams be converted to cc's ?

I would like to give my cat liquid Benydryl for itching and the ratio is 2 mg for every pound of body weight...the cat is 16 pounds so the dosage would be 32 mg's. I have ml/cc syringes and I cannot find a conversion. Can you please help ?

Thank you.....Ron Martin.....Lacombe, La.

But, for this type of calculation: This is a matter of conversion and cross multiplication.

Step #1 - What you have

Children's Benadryl contains 12.5mg / 5mL(cc)
