Medical - Livestock / Animal Husbandry / veterinaria | | English term or phrase: five-grain tablets | Sto traducendo un testo di veterinaria sulla diarrea nei cani.
Questo è il contesto della frase:
Ordinary diarrhea can usually be cleared up in a couple of days with bismuth subnitrate or bismuth subgallate. Give one or two five-grain tablets of either every two hours; small dogs one tablet of each and large dogs two.
Qualcuno può aiutarmi su come tradurre "five-grain tablets"?
