Perfect! Just the information I needed... and of course I just weighed them all - in pounds. Doh! Guess I will need to start converting weights, then doing the math. My brain needs a good workout anyway...

Google has a nice conversion tool https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=c ... %20to%20kg

Just be sure that you get your decimals right. 10lb 8oz for example is 10.5 lbs.

It's done in decimals rather than lbs/oz - I used DH's tournament fishing scales which worked perfectly... they pick up the slightest of weights and use a tub to contain rambunctious ones (which really aren't much different than a floppy fish :lol: ).

I need one of those! Do you know the who makes it? Sounds even better than a luggage scale.

Dunno but I just did some searching... they look *expensive*

OK, thinking this through, hopefully a couple extra brains will help me make sure I get this right! 20-60 IU/KG - that's a pretty big range... not sure exactly how much to use, maybe the bottle will have more specific numbers?

I would have to check the particular brand but it is similar to something like this http://www.staples.com/Brecknell-15...&kpid=561497&gclid=CNWagvCAv8UCFYg9gQod9aEAJg (not sure how to imbed the link... still figuring out this forum) - they just use a plastic tub on it and tare it out. Thankfully with him being tournament director for his club he keeps them at the house so I can use them whenever I need to

DH helped me get it figured out and all 4 of the adults have had shots... hopefully I did it OK :x

I'm glad you got it figured out. I hope it fixes everything.

It might a good idea to add some probiotics to their diet for a while just to be on the safe side.

How much should I give them? I have a few options in the fridge (we keep them on hand for everyone in the family). Would it be best in the water?
