Prednisolone may come as OraPred which tastes better than prednisolone
"straight" ( By the way, I'm not a vet but a Paediatric Nurse who works
with Pulmonary patients.  We use Prednisone for asthma, etc.)  Now are
you thinking 1ml=1mg.  It may be mixed that way but not necessarily.
Also how much does Loki weigh?  2mg/kg/day means for every 2.2lbs of
weight he should get 2mgs. in 24 hrs. or 1mg if divided in 2 doses.  I
hope this isn't confusing.  The bottle should be labelled and tell so
the strength.  It should also say WHAT it diluted with.  It may not be
diluted.  As I said, some preparations aren't nasty tasting.  So find out
how many milligrams per ml.  It could, for example, be 1mg/ml or 5mg/ml
depending on how it was mixed.  Since, it's divided in 2 doses, Loki
should be getting 1.1mg/lb for each dose.  If Loki is 2lbs, he would
get 2.2mg.  If prednisolone is 5mg/ml, then he would take 4.4mls.  You
calculate by: Number of mg/ml and divide it by Loki's weight.
 
Have I made this more confusing?  I hope not.  I hoe this helps.
