How much childrens motrin (ibuprofen) can I give Lucky for her leg? She weighs between 470 and 500 grams...she wouldn't be still long enough for an accurate weight.

This dose is for Infant Motrin --it is more concentrated than Children Motrin.
400 grams - .1cc
500 grams - .12cc

If you have Children's strength, you want to DOUBLE the infant dose.

I have children's ibuprofen (100 mg per 5 mL), so should I give Lucky 0.24 cc?
