Hi,

I know this is an old thread, but I'm still trying to figure out dosage and don't really see the answer here (the reference link is no longer viable). It SEEMS that previously when I had a few chickens with respiratory problems, a veterinarian who bought one of the sick birds advised me to use the Terramycin = 1 tablespoon/gallon (I was even more of a newbie then, and didn't even realize that the chickens were sick!).

I have a couple of the same packages of the medicine still: net weight 6.4 oz., contains 10 grams of Oxytetracycline HCl. Can anyone advise me how much to add to each gallon of water? I know that I change the water out, etc.
