Animal Welfare Professionals

Hello all, I am in need of some shared knowledge. 

We hired a new vet at the beginning of the year, and she was working on changing suppliers and charts for our shelter when we found out she quit a few months ago. 

Since then, we have been trying to update our SOP's and charts for the new medications and brands she's purchased, and we are confused about our Pyrantel Pam dosages. 

Since before I can remember, our dosages for cats was always .1ml/1lbs. With this new brand, it's telling us 5ml/10lbs, so half their body weight (see attached pictures). However, staff is reporting cats are vomiting after administration, and concern for the little kittens getting so much liquid (though the fear is probably from being used to the small amounts we've given in the past.) 

Does anyone have a confirmed answer for us? Is this the correct dosage and we were doing it wrong for so many years, or is there a reason it was .1ml/1lbs?

Thank you for reading,
