    One cubic centimeter is equal to one millilitre

    I'm assuming you mean centilitres to millilitres? mL to cL? If so, there are 10 millilitres to 1 centilitre.

    No!

    In medical jargon the "cc" is a cubic centimeter.

    Just as Mallard said

    1.0 cc = 1.0 ccm = 1.0cm³ = 1.0ml

    Snipe49 - if in doubt, call the Vet. However, I am sure Mallard is correct.

    It's straight forward enough really:

    1m3 = 1,000litre

    also, 1m3 = 1,000,000 cm3 (100cm x 100cm x 100cm)

    and, 1,000 litres = 1,000,000 ml (1,000litre x 1,000millilitres)

    therefore, 1,000,000 cm3 = 1,000,000 ml

    hence, 1cm3 = 1ml

    cubic centimetre = cm3 = cc

    Basically they are the same unit of measurement so 1cc is the same as 1ml

    1 cc IS 1 ml - if that is the prescribed dose, then you are good for that amount.

    There are 1000 cc in 1 litre - a millilitre is another name for a cc - mille = one thousandth of something. 1mm is one thousandth of a metre. 1milligramme [mg] is a thousandth of a kilogram - a kilogramme is a thousand milligrammes, and so on.

    I thought that Ireland was metric?
