The first step in determining the answer will need to be to convert the weight from imperial to metric. 12lbs ~ 5.44311kg Then we need to look at the total amount of amoxicillin needed. At 5mg/kg is ~27.5mg twice per day. The concentration is 50mg per ml. Knowing that the cat needs around 55mg, that leads us to 1.1ml daily.
