You diagnose a cow with milk fever (periparturient hypocalcemia). The average recommended dosage for calcium gluconate injection is 200 mg/kg slowly to effect. Calcium gluconate comes as a 23% solution. If the formula weight is 430.4 and the formula for this salt is Ca++(C12H22O14)-- how many milliequivalents (meq) of calcium would you be giving to a cow weighing 420 kilograms if you gave the full dosage?
