@BonPerez , what powder do you have? Is it one shown here: http://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1022878/oxytetracyline-and-tetracycline-powder-doses

What tetracycline or oxytetracyline powder do you have?

6 / 2.2 x 40 = ~110 mg

A healthy mature RIR hen should weigh 5-6 pounds.

I think they're supposed to get around 40 mg/kg per day, but I'm not positive. How much do your sick birds weigh?

Welcome to BYC! @Eggcessive, @Wyorp Rock, do either of you know how long to give tetracyline?

Dose is 1 & 1/8 teaspoons per quart.

Which product do you have?

The quart dose would be 200 mg, yes? If one pack has 500 mg tetracyline, then I think the amount to use is 0.4 packs per quart?

Welcome to BYC! I think we all need to get a scale and do a little math. :D -Kathy

@FarmerJohn5626 , this one is also incorrect: ~5 teaspoons = 800 mg 2.5 tablespoons = ~1200 mg. -Kathy

Nope, they are wrong, trust me. The 800 mg dose is 1.5 tablespoons, not 1 tablespoon. Just because a mfg says it should be something doesn't mean it's correct. Look at their other errors. Since when does 1/2 tablespoon = 1 ounce? Quote: The math is easy... Each package has 10 grams...

Here is another dosing source: https://vsh.nacaf.naccvp.com/generic/view/634 Home » Generic Name Index » Oxytetracycline HCl Generic Name: Oxytetracycline HCl Therapeutic Category: Veterinary Labels: Bio-mycin, Liquamycin, Terramycin Use: Antibiotic, tetracycline Dose: 1) 7.5-10 mg/kg IV...

Did the vet say how many mg to give? -Kathy

This place is offering free initial visits: http://www.vcahospitals.com/main/offer -Kathy

I hope your dog gets better. You might want to look online for a vet clinic offer free first time exams and go that route. That would save you about $65 and they might have a better drug for you to try. -Kathy

It's written like that for livestock because it's not feasible to treat a while flock or herd orally. -Kathy

Mix 4.25 teaspoons and a small amount of water, like 30ml maybe and give orally. I think I read that it should be given on an empty stomach and never with dairy or anything with calcium because cyclines can bind with calcium. It can also be had on the kidneys, so make sure your dog is drinking...

Think out it like this... Four 200 mg Advil pills =. 800 mg, right? Take those four pills and crush them... Now you have Advil powder. If your doctor told you to take 800 mg worth of powder, how would you take it? You could mix in in a cup and drink it, but you would have to drink the whole cup...
