To solve this problem, we have to multiply the total number of pounds by the dosage per pound.

In the given problem:


\begin{gathered} Total\text{ pounds=13 pounds, } \\ dosage\text{ per pound=1.8 mg per pound.} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the veterinarian should prescribe:


13\text{ pounds*1.8mg/pound}=23.4\text{ mg.}

Answer:


23.4\text{ mg.}
