It's not so much a computation per animal as a matter of using enough to
overcome the specific type and amount of toxin. (and no, in my
experience most vets have not heard of doing this.)
Vit C gets used up in the process - so more is better - and using it IV
allows for more without bowel irritation.
As a rough starting place when I am using Vit C by mouth (in emergency
with nothing else handy such as an IV version) I start in people with a
teaspoon helped, of pure crystals - and repeat as needed, often every 20
mins, may need 2 or 3 doses or more to stop anaphylaxis.
But a mild reaction may need less - one teaspoon for example.
In animals one can do a rough estimation by weight to get a feel for
what's equivalent.
The main objective is to get enough Vit C in there fast enough to
stop any more damage, by antidoting the toxin with as much Vit C as the
specific case needs. In such an emergency "too much" Vit C is a lot
better than "too much" toxin if your guess is not exact. One can
literally see the symptoms abate as the Vit C antidotes the toxin - so
that's the main guide. and usually you need more after that or the
symptoms return - so roughly one can use enough to reduce symptoms fast
then taper while watching response.
