Giving B-12 in 100 unit Insulin Syringe, how much is .2 ml?

Hi Everyone,

My vet told me I could give B-12 once a week to my old girl, Ketchie, who is 17. When I had her to the vet's a week and a half ago, my vet gave Ketchie fluids, and she drew up the B-12 into a syringe that was marked with ml's. I have some 100 unit diabetic syringes, and wondered if anyone knows how many units would I draw into that syringe to equal .2ml's ?

Thanks, if anyone can help me out here. I have hunted on the internet, but can't seem to find a conversion chart for that.

Measure to the 20 unit line for 0.2 ml.

1 ml (1 cc) = 100 units
0.5 ml (1/2 cc) = 50 units
0.1 ml = 10 units
0.01 ml = 1 unit

Thanks so much!!!

Also, I finally found a site with the info, just now, in case anyone needs to see the conversion chart:
