Am I being daft?

Last week my remaining dog had an unexpected trip to the vets - Mrs DB took him & was in a bit of a state, dog seen in the car as he couldn’t walk (diagnosis of Idiopathic Vestibular Syndrome) & with her dodgy knee she couldn’t carry him in, all of which resulted in her leaving & fee going on the ‘account’ for me to pay later.

Called up today & paid, £100.55 for a consultation & a sea sickness jab, thought his was a bit steep but paid & that was that until Mrs DB comes home tonight & said she’d been told it’d be no more than £75. Checked the bill they’ve emailed me & now wondering if they’ve charged me 10x too much for the injection? Entry reads:

Prevomax Inj 10mg/ml. £20.78. 2mls. £41.55

Now to my maths if it’s £20.78 for 10mls then 2mls is £20.78 x 0.2 = £4.16.

Should the quantity have been entered as 0.2 instead of 2 or am I barking up the wrong tree?
 
This, and many similar Vetinary related cost concerns as also recounted via BBC Radio, make me increasingly reluctant to take on a dog at a time when I'm in the fortunate position of giving it my undivided attention.

Very sad as few can surely afford to lavish medical bills on a pet that they would struggle to countenance for themselves?

Now, where is that NHS Dentist?

10 mg per ml and you have 2 ml then it’s £20 x 2 =£40.00 or thereabouts.
Why not just write it as 2ml of drug X @ £40 I don’t know.
 
All agreed
It’s 10 milligrams concentration per millilitre
2 ml x£20.78 =41.55
Any way, the difference doesn’t matter if it get your best mate back on its feet.
