I think you did your math correctly.

What's the front of the bottle look like?

@casportpony can you check my math here? I know you're the dosage expert.
Green puppy weighs 3 lbs. 3 oz.
Blue puppy weighs 2 lbs. 4 oz.
Pink puppy weighs 3 lbs. 2 oz.
Teal puppy weighs 3 lbs. 5 oz.
Purple puppy weighs 2 lbs. 10 oz.
Red puppy weighs 2 lbs. 12 oz.

This is the dosage according to the bottle

1 tsp for every 10 pounds. 1 teaspoon equals 5 ml.
So 5 ml. for every 10 pounds. Green puppy, for example, weighs 3 lbs. 3 oz. So I believe I would divide the 5 ml. by 10 pounds, that's 0.5 ml. per pound. Then I do 0.5 ml. times 3.3?
Which gives me 1.65 ml.
Then repeat for each one. Does that sound right? And to fill my syringe, that would be one full syringe, and then .65, so would I fill the second syringe to about the red dot?

It appears the dose is 5 mg/kg. Let me do some math.

 

[casportpony]

The back label says 5 ml per 10 pounds & the front label says 4.54 mg per ml. That works out to 5 mg per kilogram.

The math for that is:
weight of dog in kg, times 5, divide bu 4.54 = # of ml to give.

Avery is 70 pounds, which is ~31.75 kg
31.75 x 5 / 4.54 = ~35 ml

It's so much easier to do the math if you weigh in grams or kilograms, so I converted your weights and this is what I got:

Puppy	Weight in Pounds	Weight in kg	Dose
Label	10	4.54	5 ml
Avery	70	31.75	34.96
Green	3 lbs. 3 oz	1.446	1.59 ml
Blue	2 lbs. 4 oz	1.02	1.12 ml
Pink	3 lbs. 2 oz	1.417	1.56 ml
Teal	3 lbs. 5 oz	1.502	1.65 ml
Purple	2 lbs. 10 oz	1.191	1.31 ml
Red	2 lbs. 12 oz	1.247	1.37 ml

Wow, this is great. Thank you so so much!

I just opened the bottle and it has no seal? Is that common with this kind of thing, and if not, is it ok?

Did the seal come off with the lid? Stuck inside the lid maybe?

Bet that's the seal. I'd use it but you use your best opinion

I agree, it looks like the seal.
