Ok, so I got some antibiotics from china (for rats, not fish lol), and unfortunately the seller didn't give a translation of what it says on the packaging, which is all in Chinese (mandarin I assume), and i was wondering if anyone can help decipher what it says. I want to know how much enrofloxacin is in the mixture AND how much the total mixture weighs. I don't know if anyone here can help, but I know a few members are from China.

If im not mistaken it has 5g of the stuff you are talking about per 100g of whats in the package...

Didnt seem to see an overall weight, but wait till im in the office and i'll double check... Ad its hard to see the photo on the phone

I think the total weight is 25g. I ordered 50g and it came with 2 packages, so that part wasn't too hard to guess. 5g/100G? Thats about 50mg enrofloxacin per gram of the mixture. If that's correct thank you very much! I need to know how much is in to correctly dose my rats, and make them feel better! Thank you again.

@ Homer, right below the part that says 5g/100g stuff, it says 30g/pack. Kindly confirm.. My Chinese returned to the teacher when I left school..

[Specification] 100g: 5g Enrofloxacin

[Packaging] 30g / pack

Hi Scpion, thats basically what the package is saying with those numbers, so hopefully that will make some sense to you, as i'm not sure if the 30g / pack is for the whole pack, or per individual packet inside (if thats how its separated?)

There's individual packages in there?? I have no idea then..

I'm not sure if thats what it meant exactly, since it just says as written above [packaging] 30g / pack...

So maybe the total volume is 30g?

No, the package contains only the powder, there are no smaller packets inside it. So yes, the entire package must contain 30g. Seems 5g/100g is the consensus for how much enrofloxacin.
Thank you both! You've helped me so much, I very much appreciate it =D.

Anything to help a fellow puffer keeper...
